Summary

This trial will help to determine if physical activity programs should be implemented in geriatric units to help the elderly maintain their functional capacities and mobility.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults aged 65 and over who are hospitalized, planning to be discharged home, can communicate in French or English, have self-awareness, and no contraindications to physical activity. There are no specific exclusion criteria.
What is being tested?
The study tests three personalized exercise programs: MATCH during hospitalization; PATH at discharge; and PATH 2.0 both during hospitalization and after discharge. The goal is to prevent functional decline in elderly patients by integrating these exercises into routine care.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve personalized exercise programs designed for the elderly, side effects may include typical risks associated with physical activity such as muscle soreness or fatigue but will be tailored to minimize any potential harm.
