Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week program led by nursing and sports science students can improve frailty in older adults living in nursing homes. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either the program or usual care. The program includes physical exercise and occupational therapy sessions three times a week. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with early signs of benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: multidisciplinary intervention programme (physical exercise and occupational therapy)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show a low-cost way to reduce frailty and improve quality of life for older adults in nursing homes.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study, not a large trial. It may not prove the program works, and results may not apply to all nursing homes.
