Experimental Treatment
Group I: PUSH Plus Protein and NutritionExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants will be given a whey-based protein supplement containing 27.6g of protein daily for 16 weeks and receive the PUSH intervention. PUSH is a specific multi-component intervention based on improving specific precursors to community ambulation. The intervention addresses endurance with continuous upright exercise for 20 min.; function by improving fast walking, standing from a chair, and stair negotiation; muscle performance by exercising to enhance lower extremity strength; and balance by performing unilateral activities and activities with decreased base of support. Participants receive 32 visits of approximately 60 minutes in duration from a study PT. Participants will receive two visits a week, on non-consecutive days, for 16 weeks. Visits take place in the participant's place of residence. Participants also receive the nutritional intervention for the duration of the 16-week study.
