Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of progressive resistance strength training (PRT) in elderly hospitalised patients. The hypothesis is that PRT given as an additional training would improve the rehabilitation and increase the level of activity of daily living.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Elderly inpatients included in the study were randomised into a control group or a training group. All included patients received the regular in-physiotherapy, but the training group received progressive resistance training in groups in addition.
