Abstract
Deconditioning is a prevalent problem in our sedentary society and is increasingly contributing to functional mobility problems in older adults. Information about exercise and appropriate exercise programs are increasingly available. Physicians and other health care professionals should identify when deconditioning is contributing to a patient's mobility problem and then assist the patient in developing a new exercise habit.
