Timed "Up & Go" Test [ Time Frame: Before randomisation and 3 days before discharge from the department ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The Timed Up & Go (TUG) test assess basic functional mobility.(14). The test measures the time (in seconds)that the subjects used for standing up from the seating position on a chair (chair seat height = 45 cm) with armrest, walking 3 m, turning around and walking back to the chair and sitting down again.

BI consists of 10 functional tasks of which 3 tasks focus the function of mowing and walking. Task numbers 8 in BI "Transfer" assess the ability to move and are rated on a 0, 5 and10 point ordinal scale. Task number 9 in BI "Walking" assess the ability to walk rated on a 0, 5 or 10 point scale.

Task number 10 in BI "Stairs" assesses the ability to walk on stairs and is rated with 0, 5, 10 or 15 points.

Progressive Resistance Strength Training (PRT) in Hospitalised Elderly Patients
The Effect of Progressive Resistance Strength Training in Hospitalised Elderly Patients

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of progressive resistance strength training (PRT) in elderly hospitalised patients. The hypothesis is that PRT given as an additional training would improve the rehabilitation and increase the level of activity of daily living.

Elderly inpatients included in the study were randomised into a control group or a training group. All included patients received the regular in-physiotherapy, but the training group received progressive resistance training in groups in addition.

Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Medical Diseases
  • Neurological Diseases
  • Chronical Obstructive Lung Diseases
Other: Progressive Resistance strength training
Resistance strength training is given as circle training. The resistance is increased with regularly intervals.
