Brief Summary

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

Patients after hospital admission would experience the functional decline, so-called Hospital-Associated Disability. This condition could not only impact the patient health function but pose a burden on the family, even more consuming of medical resource in the country. Therefore, in addition to routine rehabilitation program, various bedside exercise programs are provided as an adjunct therapy to prevent functional declination and improve physical mobility for a patient after hospital admission. The aims of the study are conducted to compare the effect of three various bedside exercise programs (exercise based on watching video, oral education and paper sheet) on physical mobility among the hospitalized patients.

This is single-blind randomized control study and patients recruited from Tzu-Chi medical center in eastern Taiwan are ranged from 30 to 90 years old. All participants are randomly assigned to three groups (watching video, oral education and paper sheet). Patients in watching video group are provided with theirs 3 to 5 poor physical performance video recorded on the tablet or mobile phone during the rehabilitation program. The other two groups are provided oral education and paper sheet exercise program, respectively. All three groups patients conduct their bedside exercise programs when they return their ward.

Physical performance tests are evaluated before the intervention and one or two days before discharge by a physical therapist blinded the groups of patient .

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

video watching

In the video-watching group, a patient will follow the exercise instructions from watching the video. The exercise content in video are set during the patient conducting the rehabilitation program. Then, the therapist will select 3 to 5 groups of movements pattern needed to be enhanced catching from the video for the patient to practice when returning the bedside after the rehabilitation programs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

video watching

Intervention Type OTHER

Watching video In this group, when the patient conducts their rehabilitation exercise, the therapist would record the poor physical movement pattern from his/her performance by using the mobile phone or tablet. The patients will be provided with watching video exercise, containing 3-5 items of "their poor physical performance", selected by the therapist as a feedback to let the patient practice when they return their bedside ward after their rehabilitation time. The content of video-watching exercise program will be changed or modified once weekly as the patient improve the physical movement performance.

paper sheet

For the paper sheet group, the therapist will prepare the exercise leaflet, suitable for the patients, in advance, and select three to five groups of movement exercises on the leaflet that his/her therapist deem the patients needed to be enhanced. When the patients ends his/her rehabilitation program, they can practice following the instructions on the leaflet for them-self in bedside.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

paper group

Intervention Type OTHER

In the paper sheet group, the therapist will give three to five poor movement patterns, selected from the patient conducting their rehabilitation program, to practice when returning bedside ward.

oral health education group

In the oral health education group, the program is similar to the paper sheet group without providing any exercise paper sheet the patient but oral education.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

oral education group

Intervention Type OTHER

the patient only receives the oral exercise education about how to improve their physical performance during their hospital stay.
