Brief Summary:
At discharge after a hospitalization many older people are not as able as before their hospital stay and have difficulty performing their daily activities at home For example washing and dressing themselves housework or shopping are often more difficult after discharge from hospital However most older people do not receive any support in regaining their physical status and self-reliance As a result they often need permanent help from informal or professional caregivers Their quality of life is also impacted and they have an increased risk of new hospital admissions
Rehabilitation centers and hospital rehabilitation wards help the elderly to regain their daily functioning but the number of places is very limited This means that support for home rehabilitation is necessary for the vast majority of older people almost 82000 people per year However most of the time there is no support for home rehabilitation and the effect of such home rehabilitation programs has been little studied Although studies show that home rehabilitation can improve physical functioning the effect on impairments in daily activities and the quality of life of older people are not clear
In a future multicenter RCT the investigators want to study whether training and guidance by a physiotherapist contributes to the recovery of older people after discharge from hospital
Patients will either receive standard care after hospitalization discharge or intensive guidance from a physiotherapist The patients guided by the physiotherapist are trained and supervised three times a week for six weeks to improve their muscle strength balance walking and mobility The aim of the intensive home rehabilitation program is that the individual benefits from it in the longer term Therefore whether individuals who received the program are less limited in their daily functioning than those who did not receive the intensive rehabilitation program is checked after six months In addition the quality of life physical functioning and healthcare costs for these two groups are also compared
To ensure that the study is feasible a small pilot study will first be performed Here the aim is to assess the feasibility of recruitment screening and retaining participants reasons for refusal and participant profiles study procedures and intervention This includes time registration by the study team and physiotherapists assessment of study burden and experiences with the execution of the protocol The findings of this pilot study will help deciding about progressing to a future definitive RCT
