Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults admitted to an intermediate care hospital who have a Barthel Index ≥60 and can communicate, ambulate, and participate in the exercise program.

Probably not a fit

Individuals unable to participate in the exercise program or with Barthel Index below 60 may not experience measurable benefits from this intervention.

What this trial studies

This randomized clinical trial compares a structured multicomponent physical exercise program to standard care in adults admitted to an intermediate care hospital. The program includes strength, endurance, balance, and gait training tailored to each participant. Outcomes focus on functional capacity, frailty status, and quality of life, with follow-up assessments at 3–4 months post-discharge and at 6 months. The study aims to determine if benefits persist after discharge and to explore health indicators linked to frailty. Eligible participants have a Barthel Index of at least 60 and can participate in the exercise protocol.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved independence, better functional function, and enhanced quality of life during and after hospitalization.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies of multicomponent exercise in frail older adults have shown improvements in function and frailty, supporting the potential value of this approach.
