The hospitalized elderly patient is conditioned by a series of circumstances unrelated to the pathological process itself that caused hospital admission and that usually worsen the results of hospitalization. In fact, the implementation of care models different from the traditional ones has shown a clear benefit in the functional results of these patients in the short and medium term. However, the components of these models that explain these better results have not been differentially evaluated. Some examples of these circumstances are the usual orders of absolute rest without any objective criteria for patients who are able to wander, the perpetuation of continuous fluid therapy, physical and chemical restraints, unnecessary permanent probes, etc. On numerous occasions, hospitalized elderly patients spend most of their time in bed, reaching even more than 83% of bedridden compared to 4% of those who stand up or are walking. The average time that a geriatric patient walks during their hospitalization ranges from 7 to 43 minutes/day. This population, by having their functional and physiological reserve reduced, are more vulnerable to the effects, for example, of bedridden, which range from functional loss or cognitive impairment, to longer stays, mortality and institutionalization, worse emotional situation, delirium, deconditioning, aspirations, pressure ulcers, and falls, decreased caloric intake, social isolation, poorer quality of life, and greater use of health-related resources. This study is a multicenter randomized clinical trial to be conducted in the acute care for elderly (ACE) units of three tertiary hospitals in Spain - Complejo Hospitalario de Navarra (CHN), Hospital Central de la Cruz Roja de Madrid (HCCRM) and Complejo Hospitalario Universitario of Albacete (CHUA). After randomization, the research team (physiotherapist, sport science specialist and geriatrician) will together perform the baseline measurement and follow-up visits of functional, pharmacological, comorbidity and cognitive assessment, as well as of mobility and strength evaluations. The intervention will consist of a multicomponent exercise training programme, which will be composed of supervised progressive resistance exercise training, balance-training and walking for 4 consecutive days. During the training period, patients will be trained in 20 min sessions twice a day (morning and evening).

Primary | Rate of patients with change in functional and cognitive status | The functional capacity of participants will be evaluated by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), the total score ranging from 0 (worst) to 12 points (best) which includes balance, gait and rising from a chair test. Standing balance test consists in the ability to maintain the standing position for 10s with three different foot position: parallel, semi-tandem and tandem. Walking speed measure, the time needed to progress for 4 linear meters with patient's usual speed, assigning a different score according to speed. Chair sit-to-stand assesses the ability to stand from a chair 5 consecutive times without using arms. The SPPB test has been shown to be a valid instrument for screening frailty and predicting disability, institutionalization and mortality. | 3 years | |
Secondary | Rate of changes in the quality of life | - Changes in the quality of life measured by the Spanish version40 of the questionnaire EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D)41. It is an instrument measures 5 dimensions health status: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension is rated according to the following levels: a) no problems; b) some problems; c) extreme problems. Besides, it contain visual analogy scale to quantify perceived health of 0 (worst health state imaginable) to 100 (best health state imaginable). | 3 years | |
Secondary | Number of patients with delirium | Development of delirium as assessed with the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM); feature 1, acute onset and fluctuating course; feature 2, inattention; feature 3, disorganized thinking; and feature 4, altered level of consciousness, with diagnosis of delirium requiring the presence of features 1 and 2 and either 3 or 442. | 3 years | |
Secondary | Mortality Rate | 3-years mortality | 3 years | |
Secondary | Total use of health-related resources | Number of readmissions, visits to A&E, visits to outpatient clinics | 3 years |
