Sponsor's own description
As a consequence of the increasing life expectancy hospitals are seeing a growing number of elderly patients undergoing elective surgery. These patients are likely to suffer from one or more chronic illnesses, malnutrition, reduced physical strength and mobility and sensory impairment. Age related loss of resilience in combination with these conditions often results in frailty. Frailty syndrome describes a reduction in weight, mobility and strength, as well as declining cognitive capacities and reduced performance in daily life activities. This decline in constitution is accompanied by an increased risk of complications and mortality in the period after surgery. Frail patients are generally admitted to hospital for a longer period and are readmitted more often. A multitude of studies has demonstrated that these risks can be significantly reduced by offering frail patients a prevention program prior to their surgery. These prevention programs are often referred to as prehabilitation and combine strength and cardiovascular training with breathing exercises. Despite the obvious benefits, prehabilitation programs are not yet commonly applied outside of research settings as they carry considerable costs and required additional skilled personnel. In response to the unmet need for a widely applicable, cost and personnel efficient prehabilitation program a home-based prehabilitation program has been designed. This prehabilitation allows patients to safely perform an individualised set of exercises without relying on a personal trainer or a training group. Efficiency and feasibility will be evaluated in this study.
