NCT ID NCT06802289
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether having a kinesiologist visit older hospital patients more than once a day helps them walk more, become less frail, and go home sooner. About 80 adults aged 50 and older who are expected to stay at least 3 days will take part. Researchers will measure their frailty and daily activity using wearable monitors.
