Brief summary (from the registry)
Objective: * To explore the exercise habits and preferences of community dwelling older adults with chronic pain * To explore the facilitating factors and barriers in performing regular exercise for community dwelling older adults with chronic pain Significance of study: Chronic pain is a significant issue affecting both physical well-being and socioeconomic aspects across different age groups. Among older adults, physical inactivity is common, especially among those experiencing chronic pain. However, regular physical exercise offers numerous health benefits for the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems. This project aims to explore the exercise habits and preferences of community-dwelling older adults with chronic pain. By identifying facilitating factors and barriers related to exercise, we can develop tailored exercise programs. These programs will promote healthier habits, allowing older adults to continue living independently in their communities and potentially delaying the need for long-term care facilities.
