Abstract
Key summary pointsAimTo examine different mobility outcomes of acute geriatric care in acutely hospitalized older adults and identify associated factors.FindingsPatients showed significant increases in locomotor capacity, physical activity, and life-space mobility from hospital admission to discharge, for which frailty was consistently identified as a negative independent predictor. A higher mean daily physical activity level was independently predictive of improvements in locomotor capacity.MessageOlder hospitalized patients benefit from acute geriatric care in terms of distinct mobility outcomes; however, frailty-specific adaptations may be needed for frail patients to optimize their mobility outcomes.
