Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of multicomponent rehabilitation on physical
activity, sedentary behavior, and mobility in older people recently discharged from hospital.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Home and community.
Participants: Community-dwelling people aged ⩾60years recovering from a lower limb or back
musculoskeletal injury, surgery, or disorder were recruited from local health center hospitals and
randomly assigned into an intervention (n=59) or a control (standard care, n=58) group.
Intervention: The six-month intervention consisted of a motivational interview, goal attainment
process, guidance for safe walking, a progressive home exercise program, physical activity counseling,
and standard care.
Measurements: Physical activity and sedentary time were assessed using an accelerometer and a single
question. Mobility was evaluated with the Short Physical Performance Battery, self-reported use of a
walking aid, and ability to negotiate stairs and walk outdoors. Intervention effects were analyzed with
generalized estimating equations.
Results: Daily physical activity was 127±78minutes/day and 121±70 at baseline and 167±81 and
164±72 at sixmonths in the intervention and control group, respectively; mean difference of 3.4minutes
(95% confidence interval (CI)=–20.3 to 27.1). In addition, no significant between-group differences were
shown in physical performance.
Conclusion: The rehabilitation program was not superior to standard care for increasing physical activity
or improving physical performance. Mobility-limited older people who had recently returned home from
hospital would have needed a longer and more frequently monitored comprehensive geriatric intervention.
