Summary
This study tested a program called MOVIN that encourages older hospital patients (65+) to walk more during their stay. Researchers wanted to see if this simple change could prevent disability and help patients recover better after leaving the hospital. Over 700 patients and many nurses took part, with the program focusing on changing how hospital units approach patient mobility.
