Randomized trial evaluates feasibility of frailty intervention in older adults, suggesting potential for wider applications.

The aim is to assess the feasibility of a multicomponent frailty intervention in post-acute rehabilitation setting.
Enrolled community-dwelling adults ≥ 65 years from 2 skilled nursing facilities between 08/2023 and 10/2024.
Implemented individualized exercises and protein supplementation post-exercise, offered ≥ 5 times a week alongside regular therapy.
Evaluated enrollment feasibility based on eligible and enrolled participants.
Of 515 admissions screened, 147 were eligible, resulting in a 34.0% enrollment rate of eligible participants.
Mean length of stay was 16.2 days, with 55.3% of offered sessions completed.
Descriptive improvements included grip strength increase of +1.4 kg, Modified Barthel Index +15.9.
