Extra mobility help for older adults in skilled nursing facilities
This study tests whether adding extra mobility exercises helps older adults who are just out of the hospital and in a skilled nursing facility get stronger and move better. If you can walk with only a little help, this might be a good fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 50 years old.
- You were admitted to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) directly from the hospital.
- You can walk with minimal help or less at the time of admission.
- You do not have a neurological condition like stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, or a brain injury.
- You do not have weight-bearing restrictions that require more than minimal help to walk.
- This must be your first time in a skilled nursing facility.

This study looks at how aging affects the way older adults respond to resistance training (exercises using weights or resistance bands). It compares two types of training to see which works better for improving mobility and strength.
This study tests a 'Skilled Nursing Facility at Home' program for people who would normally go to a nursing home for short-term recovery after a hospital stay. It aims to let you recover at home instead, with extra support from nurses and therapists.
This study tests a special exercise program that focuses on 'power' — moving quickly and strongly — to help older veterans walk better and stay mobile. If you join, you'll do supervised exercises in a group setting, and the researchers will see if it helps you move more easily in your daily 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 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.
This study tests a program to help older adults who have some trouble walking become more active. If you are able to walk a short distance without major help and have no serious memory problems, you may be able to join and get support to move more safely.
