Connecting Emergency Departments with Community services to prevent mobility losses in pre-frail & frail Seniors (CEDeComS)
FY 2015-16
Summary
About 18% of independent people over 65 who are evaluated in Emergency Departments for minor injuries (fractures, sprains) present some mobility decline up to 3 to 6 months post-injury. People at risk of decline are prefrail or frail; this condition could be explained by muscle proprieties loss. Exercise is a proven method that can help limit frailty and allow to restore mobility.
The aim of our study is to evaluate whether a suitable exercise program of one hour, twice a week for 12 weeks will limit functional losses & fragility in injured older adults after their emergency department visit.
