Study type | Interventional |
Hospitalization increases the risk for new disability in older adults. In the current health care system, home health physical therapy is understudied and often does not return older adults to prior levels of function. The proposed evidence-based multicomponent intervention that combines high intensity strength training and motor control based systems of gait and balance training will advance clinical practice by providing an intervention strategy for practitioners. If successful, improving patient function and decreasing re-hospitalization rates and falls will have large cost saving implications.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Gait Speed | Time it takes to walk a 4 meter path, key to independent functioning | 60 days | |
Secondary | Modified Physical Performance Test (mPPT) | Assesses 7 different tasks. Based on the time taken to complete the tasks, a score from 0 (unable to complete) to 4 (performed quickly and easily) if given for each task. A maximal score of 28 is given, including tasks that involved the upper and lower extremity function. | 60 days | |
Secondary | Late-Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI) | Evaluates limitation and frequency of taking part in 16 major life tasks in its disability component, and 32 functional tasks in its functional component, of which 14 tasks comprise basic lower extremity function. | 60 days |
