Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a combined nutritional and home-based exercise intervention in elderly, malnourished, frail patients after hospital discharge. Adherence to exercise program, adherence to oral nutrition supplement, potential inhibiting factors to follow exercise program, changes in nutritional status, muscle mass and function, quality of life are outcome factors. The intervention consists of 12 weeks with a physical exercise program (vivifrail) and oral nutritional supplementation (Moltein Plus). The investigators hypothesize that 12 weeks of a combined nutritional and home-based multicomponent exercise program is feasible for frail elderly patients after hospital discharge, meaning that ≥70% of the exercise sessions will be completed and oral supplements will be consumed by the participants.
