Hospital walking program aims to fight frailty in heart patients
NCT ID NCT06810661
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a daily movement program led by a kinesiologist can reduce frailty in 60 hospitalized heart patients. Frailty makes people weaker and more likely to have longer hospital stays or be readmitted. The program encourages simple activities like standing, walking, and using resistance bands. Researchers will compare results between men and women to see if one group benefits more.
