Multicomponent Exercises in Functional Performance and Cognitive Ability of Hospitalized Elderly
Effects of a Multicomponent Exercise Program on the Functional Performance and Cognitive Ability of Hospitalized Older People: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This study is a randomized controlled trial with acutely hospitalized older individuals. The first aim is to evaluate the effects of a multicomponent training intervention on functionality, cognitive ability and inflammatory profile in older patients during acute hospitalization.
The population studied will be older patients (≥ 70 years), admitted to the Internal Medicine sector of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre. The number of older people obtained through sample calculation is 30 individuals per group, totaling 60 participants in the study.
Patients will be randomized into intervention and control groups. The intervention group will perform multicomponent training for 5-7 consecutive days, and will continue to receive usual hospital care. Exercises aimed at the lower and upper limbs will be performed, such as sitting and standing up from a chair, leg press, bilateral knee extension and bench press with elastic tape. Balance and gait exercises will also be performed. The training session will be considered complete if patients are able to perform 90% or more of the scheduled exercises, the frequency and possible adverse events will be documented in daily records. The control group will not receive multicomponent physical training, only the usual care provided by the hospital. Both groups will be evaluated before and after 5-7 days of intervention.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Intervention group
Participants randomized to this group will be enrolled to a multicomponent training for 5-7 consecutive days and will continue to receive usual hospital care.
The training program consists of strength, balance and gait exercises performed within the hospital.
|
Multicomponent exercises for 5-7 days with acutely hospitalized older.
|
No Intervention: Control group
Participants randomized to the control group will receive only the usual hospital care and rehabilitation, without performing multicomponent exercises.
|
What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Changes in functional independence scores
Time Frame: Pre and post intervention (after 7 days), 1 and 3 months after hospital discharge.
|
By using the Barthel Index.
This tool indicates an individual's ability to perform basic activities of daily living.
Scores range from 0 (severe functional dependence) to 100 (functional independence).
|
Pre and post intervention (after 7 days), 1 and 3 months after hospital discharge.
|
Changes in lower limbs functional capacity
Time Frame: Pre and post intervention (after 7 days), 1 and 3 months after hospital discharge.
|
By using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) the mobility of the lower limbs will be evaluated through static balance tests while standing, walking speed and muscle strength
|
Pre and post intervention (after 7 days), 1 and 3 months after hospital discharge.
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Handgrip strength
Time Frame: Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
Assessed using a handgrip dynamometer

Time Frame: Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
Maximum strength assessed through the one repetition maximum test in the leg press and knee extension exercises.
|
Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
Lower limb muscle power
Time Frame: Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
Muscle power will be assessed in leg press and knee extension exercises, with intensities of 30% and 60% using an encoder device.
|
Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
Walking ability
Time Frame: Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)

|
Changes in cognitive state
Time Frame: Baseline and after the intervention period (after 7 days)
|
The Mini Mental State Assessment instrument will be used.
