Mobilizing patients with heart disease to reduce frailty
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle movement program helps people with heart disease stay stronger and more independent during their hospital stay. If you are staying in a specific unit at the Vitalité Health Network and have a heart condition, you may be able to join.

This trial aims to adjust frailty-support activities for people who are physically vulnerable because of heart problems. It may help by creating a plan tailored to your needs, while carefully checking health issues that could make participation unsafe.
This study tests a home-based exercise program using technology (like a smartphone app) to help frail patients get stronger and more independent. The goal is to see if exercising at home can improve your physical function and quality of life.
This study tests whether extra help and guidance to walk while you’re in the hospital can improve health and recovery. It’s for older adults who can safely do some walking after being admitted for a medical problem.
This trial tests whether a Spanish health-clinic–guided exercise program can improve frailty in people who are starting to become frail (“pre-frail”). It may help you build strength and walking ability through supervised physical activity.
This trial studies a rehabilitation (rehab) program to help older adults who are at risk of losing mobility and independence. You may be offered group-based rehab at the YMCA if you meet age, mobility, safety, and participation requirements.
This trial tests whether a mobility program helps older adults stay strong and avoid frailty during a hospital stay. If you are 50 or older and expect to be in the hospital for at least 3 days, this study may offer extra support to keep you moving.
