    Induction: Older adults go through a series of physiological changes, making loss of physical, psychological and cognitive functions common in this population, mostly causing dependency to perform activities in basic daily life. This condition makes older adults fragile and prone to any type of fall leading to disability, increased hospitalisation and even death, therefore, exercise is the best prevention tool. Objective: To determine the effect of nursing intervention on the deterioration of physical mobility in older adults. Methods: Quantitative approach, quasi-experimental design with correlational scope. The population consisted of 70 older adults, the sample was chosen by inclusion and exclusion criteria, data collection was by the Barthel index and the battery (SPPB); subsequently data tabulation was carried out using the SPSS statistical programme. The research was framed within the bioethical aspects established in the declaration of Helsinki. Results: Older adults prone to frailty are women, who improved their condition from frail to pre-frail, using the Otago exercise programme. Conclusions: Nursing interventions are of utmost importance as care plans can be designed, ensuring a better quality of life.
