Nursing rehabilitation and exercise strategies in the nursing home
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how weight training or nursing-based rehabilitative care programs in nursing homes impact on resident performance of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and objectives tests of physical performance. METHODS: This study involved a quasi-experimental control, longitudinal comparison of functional status over a 10-month period, where baseline status was adjusted through a weighting procedure based on functional status, cognitive status, and age. All residents from six residential care nursing home facilities were eligible except those with a terminal prognosis, a projected stay of less than 90 days, or with health complications that prohibited contact. Homes were placed into matched triplets based on patient characteristics: two members of each triplet were randomly designated to be experimental sites, the third became the control site. Baseline data were available for 468 subjects, follow-up for 392. ADL self-performance measures derived from the Minimum Data Set, including indicators of early loss ADL, locomotion, and late loss ADL; a number of objective functional tests (including measures of balance, power, and endurance); and mood state as measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale. RESULTS: Mean ADL values in the two experimental groups declined at a significantly lower rate than did rates for the controls. Functional decline was also lower in more specific measures: locomotion, early loss ADL, and late loss ADL. CONCLUSIONS: With both interventions, facilities were able to implement a broad-based intervention that resulted in a significant reduction in ADL decline rates. A facility-wide nursing rehabilitation program can play a useful role in reversing functional decline, helping residents to maintain their involvement in a broad spectrum of ADL activities.

In a RCT of 704 nursing home residents with frailty, after 17 months, residents in both resistance/balance/aerobic exercise and nursing rehabilitation intervention homes had significantly less decline in ADL functioning than those in control homes.
“After 17 months, residents in both types of intervention homes had significantly less decline in ADL functioning than those in control homes [506].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
