Randomized trial tested CAPABLE's effectiveness on activities of daily living in hospitalized adults, suggesting potential mobility benefits for those with comorbidities.
Key Points
CAPABLE improved functional mobility but did not enhance overall ADL independence among recently hospitalized older adults.
The CAPABLE treatment group showed a greater improvement in mobility measures, with a significant p-value of 0.028 compared to controls.
Participants with four or more comorbidities demonstrated significant improvements in ADL independence when receiving the CAPABLE intervention.
The findings highlight the necessity of targeted interventions like CAPABLE during the post-hospitalization period.
