About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Old Age; Debility focused on measuring deconditioning of elderly inpatients, loss of functionality

Eligibility Criteria

70 Years - 100 Years (Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients greater than or equal to 70 years old
  • Admitted to acute inpatient medicine unit at NYU Langone Health (17E and 17W) from - - - - - Emergency Department
  • Receiving Physical Therapy
  • Initial AMPAC 6 clicks score 11-18
  • English Speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ICU level care
  • Acute cardiac risk (including recent acute MI and stroke, unstable arrhythmias, or uncontrolled hypertension)
  • Exercise-limiting physical disability (ie rotator cuff injury, neurologic impairment)
  • Severe cognitive impairment (1) No significant dementia or delirium (2) Patient able to accept readiness for PT and comprehend education
  • Contact Precautions

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

In--Bed Resistance Training Device

Standard of Care

Arm Description

The present invention provides full body resistance training devices that attach to a planar edge, such as a footboard, headboard, or sideboard of a bed. The devices employ resistance bands for resistance training in both the incursion (force applying) and excursion (force releasing) phase of exercise.

No resistance training device

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

AMPAC 6 Clicks Composite PT (range 11-18)
The AM - PAC measures 3 functional domains: basic mobility, daily activities and applied cognition . It may be used for assessment in adults with a wide range of diagnoses and levels of performance in the 3 domains . The '6 - Clicks' instruments may have advantages over the instruments previously developed for the acute care setting in that they are simple and quick to complete, provide a transparent measure of patients' capabilities in functional areas important for prioritization of therapy resources , and use Item Response Theory to derive a common metric that can be linked with other short forms derived from the AM - PAC instrument.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Grip Strength using a dynamometer
Quantified by measuring the amount of static force that the hand can squeeze around a dynamometer
Modified 30 second sit to stand
Count of the number of times a patient is able to come to a modified standing position in 30 seconds
SF-12
Two summary scores are reported from the SF-12 - a mental component score (MCS-12) and a physical component score (PCS-12). The scores may be reported as Z-scores (difference compared to the population average, measured in standard deviations). The United States population average PCS-12 and MCS-12 are both 50 points. The United States population standard deviation is 10 points. So each 10 increment of 10 points above or below 50, corresponds to one standard deviation away from the average.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to decrease deconditioning of elderly inpatients in acute care institutions and to assess the safety and feasibility of a newly developed resistance training device. Investigators believe this device will help hospitalized seniors maintain their independence by preventing the loss of functionality from deconditioning and improve value of care through decreased length of stay and utilization of care. Current therapy will be complemented with a new in--bed resistance training device to target weak elderly patients and standardize progressive resistance training in facilities.
