Abstract

BACKGROUND: During hospitalisation, older patients spend most of their time passive in bed, which increases the risk of functional decline and negative adverse outcomes. Our aim is to examine the impact of robot-assisted physical training on functional status in older geriatric patients during acute hospitalisation.
