Role of Exercise in Reversal of Hospitalization-associated Disability in Elderly

Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Aging

In brief

The proposed preliminary study from this interdisciplinary team will provide important information about the feasibility and safety of bedside low intensity pedaling exercise during hospitalization. The findings from this study are essential to develop high-value, effective treatments that can be used by any hospital setting throughout the country. The program that investigators are proposing may provide important changes in how disability can be prevented in elderly patients who are hospitalized because of an acute illness.
