Safety and Feasibility of a Novel In--Bed Resistance Training Device in Elderly Inpatients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Old Age; Debility
In brief
The purpose of this study is to decrease deconditioning of elderly inpatients in acute care institutions and to assess the safety and feasibility of a newly developed resistance training device. Investigators believe this device will help hospitalized seniors maintain their independence by preventing the loss of functionality from deconditioning and improve value of care through decreased length of stay and utilization of care. Current therapy will be complemented with a new in--bed resistance training device to target weak elderly patients and standardize progressive resistance training in facilities.
