Background of the study:
Over 25% of hospitalized patients is >70 years (400.000 patients a year in the Netherlands ).A hospita! stay in elderly is associated with complications like an infection, malnutrition , delirium, decubitus or a fall. 30-60% of these patients develop functional decline. About 30-60% of the older patients develop new dependence in activities of daily living (ADL) during a hospital stay, which results in progressive disability after discharge.
Objective of the study:
With a daily activity programme concerning activities of daily life with occupational therapy by volunteers , physiotherapy and ergotherapy , probably functional decline does not develop or the condition of the patients can improve and it can reduce the falling incidence in hospital.
Study design:
With a randomized controlled intervention trial, investigating if and in what way a dailyactivity programme in hospitalized elderly 70 years, based on the physical and cognitive condition, can reduce the fall incidence in hospital and how it influences functional decline.
Study population:
496 patients >70 years in Medisch Spectrum Twente in the following wards : internal medicine and cardiology. The intervention group follows a daily activity programme and the intervention group receives the regular care.
lntervention:
A daily two hours activities of daily life program me with occupational therapy by volunteers , physiotherapy and ergotherapy to improve the physical and mental condition.
