Summary
This study tests whether robot-assisted leg exercises can prevent older patients from losing strength and independence during a hospital stay. 488 patients aged 65 and older will either receive robot-guided training or standard care. The goal is to see if the robot helps them walk and do daily tasks better after discharge.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a way to help older patients maintain their ability to walk and perform daily activities during hospital stays.
