🏡 Most programs:
Home-based
Low-cost
Short duration (4–12 weeks)
This isn’t just theory. It’s a scalable strategy for aging populations.

But… not everything improved (yet):
❌ Hospital readmissions
❌ Cognition
❌ Depression
❌ Quality of life
Still, no adverse events reported = SAFE ✅

📈 Improvements were seen in:
✔️ Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
✔️ Timed Up and Go (TUG)
✔️ 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)
🧠 Best combo? Strength + Walking

💡 Hospital stays lead to lasting disability in older adults.
Enter: Post-discharge exercise programs.
17 trials. 1,458 participants. The verdict?
🟢 Physical function improved significantly.
