Effect of 12-Month Supervised, Home-Based Physical Exercise on Functioning Among Persons With Signs of Frailty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Effects of Remotely Supervised Physical Activity on Health Profile in Frail Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol

“…It is much more accomplished and effective when performed under supervision ( Bonnefoy et al, 2012 ). Home-based supervised training has a better effect on strength and physical function and is more intense ( Lacroix et al, 2017 ; Suikkanen et al, 2021 ). However, the allocation of health technicians is far from meeting the requirements of the training supervised by physiotherapists at home, so the current focus of primary healthcare is how to maximize the use of existing medical resources and benefit more people.…”

Construction and validation of a rehabilitation nursing program for fragile elderly

“…However, through a review of the literature, it was found that there are few individualized rehabilitation programs developed in the community, especially in the home context with the elderly in situations of frailty, making it difficult to access and adhere to these programs (13) . Despite this, few studies show that interventions such as home visits and supervised home physical exercise in frail elderly improve functional capacity and decrease the number of falls (14)(15)(16) . Most of the existing studies are promoted in groups through the practice of physical activity or cognitive stimulation and, individually, focus on disease management processes and functional readaptation (8,(10)(11)(12) .…”

A theory‐driven exercise intervention among community‐dwelling (pre)frail older adults: Protocol for a stepped‐wedge cluster‐randomized trial

“…The choice of outcome measurement does matter in an intervention study. Previous studies primarily focus on the intervention effectiveness on frailty, muscle outcomes (mass, strength and physical performance), falls and physical functional abilities, but ignore intervention effects on mental and social functioning (Cameron et al, 2013; Chan et al, 2012; Chen et al, 2020; Clegg et al, 2014; Fairhall et al, 2014; Haider et al, 2017; Hsieh et al, 2019; Jadczak et al, 2018; Kang et al, 2019; Kapan et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2015; Kwon et al, 2015; Lai et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2021; Losa‐Reyna et al, 2019; Luger et al, 2016; Meng et al, 2020; Sadjapong et al, 2020; Sanchis et al, 2021; Suikkanen et al, 2021a; Suikkanen et al, 2021b; Tarazona‐Santabalbina et al, 2016; Yu et al, 2020). Essentially, researchers are encouraged to investigate the effectiveness of exercise interventions from a broad perspective for comprehensive effectiveness evaluation, because exercise interventions have the potential to improve physical, mental and social functioning (Dedeyne et al, 2017; Garcia‐Hermoso et al, 2020; Tarazona‐Santabalbina et al, 2016).…”

“…Like frailty, prefrailty have also attracted interest of many researchers due to the large population of prefrail older adults and the high potential for promoting health and preventing decline (Frost et al, 2017). In this condition, an increasing number of studies included prefrail older adults except or besides the frail (Chan et al, 2012; Chen et al, 2020; Haider et al, 2017; Hsieh et al, 2019; Kang et al, 2019; Kapan et al, 2017; Lai et al, 2021; Lee et al, 2021; Liao et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2021; Losa‐Reyna et al, 2019; Luger et al, 2016; Ng et al, 2017; Suikkanen et al, 2021a; Yu et al, 2020).…”

“…frail or prefrail) older adults have been conducted around the world, including in China. Among these studies, well‐accepted physical frailty measures, including Physical Frailty Phenotype (PFP) (Cameron et al, 2013; Chan et al, 2012; Chen et al, 2020; Fairhall et al, 2014; Hsieh et al, 2019; Kang et al, 2019; Kim et al, 2015; Lai et al, 2021; Liao et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2021; Losa‐Reyna et al, 2019; Meng et al, 2020; Ng et al, 2017; Sadjapong et al, 2020; Sanchis et al, 2021; Tarazona‐Santabalbina et al, 2016), Frailty Instrument of Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE‐FI) (Haider et al, 2017; Kapan et al, 2017; Luger et al, 2016) and the FRAIL scale (Lee et al, 2021; Suikkanen et al, 2021a; Suikkanen et al, 2021b; Yu et al, 2020) have been widely used to identify frailty, which may improve the homogeneity in study populations. Prefrailty has been considered as an intervention window, because prefrail older adults are more likely to transit back to a robust state through appropriate interventions compared with those who are frail (Bray et al, 2016; Frost et al, 2017; Gwyther et al, 2018).…”
