First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether having a mobility technician help older patients (65+) walk up to three times a day during their hospital stay can improve their strength and recovery. Researchers will compare these patients to those receiving usual care. The goal is to see if this simple approach reduces hospital-related weakness and helps patients get back on their feet faster.
