This situation becomes a barrier for the elderly to get direct services from physiotherapist, because the elderly are one of the groups that have a high risk of being infected with the virus. Based on this, we innovate to take advantage of technological sophistication as a solution to thedelay in physiotherapy services so that it can be developed as a means of telephysiotherapy in facilitating control of the elderly or providing virtual exercise and education that is easy to understand and to do independently. In line with this, theresearch team utilized smartphone technology through the use of a quick response (QR) code as a means of providing exercise to help the elderly avoid osteoarthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the QR code in providing exercise to improve the quality of life of the elderly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method used in this research was a study case with 10 elderly respondents. The results obtained from this study are 8 out of 10 elderly respondents experienced an increase from pre-test to post-test after exercise through QR Code.
