Chair based exercise: A proactive physiotherapy intervention to target reduced strength and balance in an ageing patient cohort

Purpose: During our band 5 rotation through MSK outpatients, we became increasingly more aware of a cohort of patients who were not appropriate for referral into the existing exercise classes, as they did not have good enough balance to complete the class circuits. In circumstances where the patients were referred, they required 1:1 support throughout to ensure their safety.
