•To be eligible for inclusion, participants must:
•* Be admitted to Mellor ward (Royal Talbot), ward 11 or 12 (Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital)
•* Be aged over 18,
•* have as a goal of admission ‘improve upright mobility or improve walking, as determined by either the admission referral or the treating therapist.
•* Have an anticipated length of stay greater than one week. People with very short length of stays may not have sufficient time to modify activity based on feedback.

•Participants will be excluded if
•* the primary reason for admission is to await placement in residential care or primarily for carer training,
•* they have been identified as not requiring physiotherapy on admission,
•* there are medical restrictions on mobilization or activity (e.g. non weight bearing).
•* The mobility goals are non-weight bearing goals (eg goal is to improve bed mobility/ slide board transfers)
•* They are involved in another interventional study
•* They have had a lower limb amputation. Upright mobility for this group is often dependent on factors such as wound healing and prosthesis fit.
•* Are cognitively impaired or unable to give consent. Part of the intervention involves working with the participant to set and achieve goals. This would be difficult for participants who are cognitively impaired.
•* They have an anticipated LOS of less than a week.
