Brief Summary

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

This feasibility study investigates if frail elderly and hospitalized patients are able to perform unsupervised elastic band exercises as a supplement to their usual supervised physiotherapy sessions and how much training they perform during their hospitalization. It is also investigated how the frail elderly and the health personnel experiences the unsupervised elastic band exercises.

Elastic Band Exercises

Unsupervised Elastic band exercises performed once a day until the patient is discharged from the hospital. One exercise for the upper extremity (row exercise level 1-3) and one exercise for the lower extremity (knee extension level 1-3). The two exercises are both performed as 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
