Inactivity with hospitalisation is disastrous for physical function in older adults.
So much so that >30% of older adults leave hospital unable to do at least one activity of daily living they could do independently beforehand.
But it doesn’t take much activity to offset these losses.
A new study found as little as 25 min/day of slow walking was enough to improve physical function in older adults during hospitalisation.
There were greater benefits with up to 50 min/day slow walking or multicomponent programs incorporating resistance exercise.

'The support from the public has been absolutely overwhelming, so the government have got to listen.'
@KMiddletonCSP speaks from the picket line earlier today as NHS physiotherapy staff went on strike for the first time over pay.
Value NHS physiotherapy staff. #CSP4FairPay.
As this winter of discontent in the #NHS drags on..today it's the turn of our amazing physiotherapy colleagues @uclh to strike
These unsung heroes are absolutely critical to the NHS-and have been undervalued and underpaid for too long
You have my full support!
