Physical Therapist Needed to Develop and Record Exercise Videos for Older Adults

Physical Therapist Needed to Develop and Record Exercise Videos for Older Adults Summary We are seeking a licensed Physical Therapist (PT) to develop and record a structured home-based exercise and rehabilitation video program for older adults. The videos will be used as part of a research study and may require specific settings, instructions, and duration. The ideal candidate should have some experience making similar videos and working with older adults on exercises that strengthen balance, gait, fall prevention, mobility rehabilitation, and home-based exercises. Project Scope A 6-week physical activity and rehabilitation video program consisting of: 18 exercise videos Approximately 10–15 minutes per video Progressive difficulty throughout the program Home-based exercises requiring minimal equipment Exercises appropriate for older adults with varying functional abilities Clear verbal instruction and demonstration Modifications for different ability levels when appropriate Target Population The primary goal is to create engaging, enjoyable, and confidence-building exercise sessions that encourage regular participation while promoting safe physical activity. The program is intended for older adults who may be otherwise healthy or may have the following: Reduced mobility Physical inactivity History of falls Balance limitations Mild frailty Mild cognitive impairment or early dementia Content should be simple, safe, and easy to follow. Video Format Videos should be designed as follow-along exercise sessions rather than lecture-style instructional content. Participants should be able to complete the exercises in real time while watching the video. When exercises require repetitions (e.g., sit-to-stands, marching, heel raises, balance exercises), the instructor should demonstrate and perform the repetitions with participants whenever feasible. Each video should include: Brief introduction Safety reminders Guided warm-up Real-time exercise participation Exercise modifications when appropriate Cool-down and session completion message No advertisement and no mention or display of institutional affiliations Recording Environment Videos should preferably be recorded in a home or home-like environment that reflects where participants are likely to perform the exercises. Exercises should require minimal equipment and be safe for older adults to perform at home. Common household items, such as a sturdy chair, may be incorporated when appropriate. Recording Requirements Videos should be recorded in landscape (16:9) orientation. Minimum resolution: 1920 × 1080 (Full HD). Clear audio with minimal background noise. Record in a quiet, well-lit environment using natural or indoor lighting. Professional athletic attire is preferred. No visible institutional affiliations, company logos, or advertisements. No background music. Videos may be recorded using a smartphone or camera, provided the quality is clear. Deliverables The selected contractor will provide: Development of the exercise progression plan. Recording of 18 exercise videos. A brief outline for each session, including the exercises, repetitions, and progression. Safety guidance and exercise modifications when appropriate. Final video files in MP4 (H.264) format suitable for website and mobile application deployment. Professional video production is not required. Raw or minimally edited videos are acceptable. No branding, website integration, captions, or advanced post-production is required. Preferred Qualifications Licensed Physical Therapist or soon-to-be licensed (PT or DPT) Experience working with older adults Experience in geriatric rehabilitation Experience in fall prevention programs Experience creating educational or exercise content Comfortable providing on-camera instruction Ambience Please make the videos really enjoyable and exciting. Budget Fixed Price: $1,800 Intellectual Property All exercise protocols, session plans, written materials, and video content created under this project will become the property of the client upon final payment. The selected contractor must agree to transfer all intellectual property rights, including perpetual rights for research, educational, clinical, website, mobile application, telehealth, and commercial use. Future Opportunities Successful completion of this project may lead to additional opportunities involving digital health interventions, telehealth rehabilitation content, physical activity programs, fall prevention initiatives, and other health technology projects.
