Description
Older hospital patients who cannot move well face falls, fractures, and worse during recovery. Lina Ma reports a multicenter trial of team-based care for that group. Four hundred forty-two inpatients with poor physical performance joined across five hospitals. The treatment group got a personal plan built around exercise, plus teaching, nutrition, and medical tuning. The control group got routine care. Everyone was followed for six months.
Early results show fewer bad events in the team group, about six percent against thirteen. Daily living scores, stay length, and costs did not differ. Solo-presented at a symposium, the study builds a decision pathway other hospitals can copy. Mobility, the author argues, deserves a team of its own.
