Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention 1 (simple exercise program)
The intervention will include up to four sessions per day. It consists of sit-to stand exercises and walking along the corridor of the ward (for those who can walk).
Intervention 1 (simple exercise program)
Up to four sessions per day (total duration 20-30 minutes/day). Performed at the hospital on all weekdays from baseline until hospital discharge (around 1 week). At discharge, the participants will be encouraged to continue with the exercise program at home.
Intervention 2 (comprehensive exercise program)
This intervention consists of two daily sessions (morning and afternoon). The morning session includes individualized supervised progressive resistance, balance, and walking training exercises, tailored to each participant's capacity. The resistance training includes using weight cuffs, involving mainly lower-extremity muscles. Balance and gait exercises includes different exercises such as line walking, stepping practice, and walking with small obstacles. The evening session consists of functional exercises using light loads, such as knee extension and flexion, hand training with a ball, and daily walking exercises (for those who can walk).
Intervention 2 (comprehensive exercise program)
Two daily sessions (morning and afternoon) of 20 minutes' duration each. Performed at the hospital on all weekdays from baseline until hospital discharge (around 1 week).
Control group
The control group will receive usual care, which may include physical rehabilitation when needed.
No interventions assigned to this group
