- Buddhist Tzu Chi General Hospital
- Brief Summary
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 .

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Barthel Index (BI) Up to four weeks The investigators will use the BI as the primary outcome measure in this study to evaluate activity of daily living at baseline before intervention, one week after intervention, and the time at discharge. BI is scored 0 to 100, the higher score and the better functional performance.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Hand-held dynamometer Up to four weeks The investigators will use the hand-held dynamometer as the secondary outcome measure in this study to evaluate the muscle strength at baseline before intervention, one week after intervention, and the time at discharge.
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) four weeks The investigators will use the SPPB as the secondary outcome measure in this study to evaluate the lower extremity functioning and physical mobility at baseline before intervention, one week after intervention, and the time at discharge. SPPB is scored 0 to 12, the higher score and the better physical mobility.
Time Up and Go (TUG) Up to four weeks The investigators will use the TUG as the secondary outcome measure in this study to evaluate the balance mobility at baseline before intervention, one week after intervention, and the time at discharge. TUG is recorded as the seconds, the shorter timing and the better balance function.
de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) Up to four weeks The investigators will use the DEMMI as the secondary outcome measure in this study to evaluate the physical mobility at baseline before intervention, one week after intervention, and the time at discharge. The DEMMI consists of 15 items with score 0-100, and the higher score, the better performane.
