Feasibility of the lifestyle integrated functional exercise concept in cognitively impaired geriatric rehabilitation patients.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveIncreasing numbers of cognitively impaired older persons are admitted for inpatient hospital treatment. Therefore, new approaches are needed to prevent a loss of mobility during hospital stays and improve outcomes of this vulnerable patient group. The lifestyle integrated functional exercise (LiFE) concept uses activities of daily living (ADL) situations as opportunities to improve balance and strength. A pilot study was performed to test the feasibility and acceptability of the LiFE exercises in a geriatric rehabilitation setting. METHODS AND PATIENTS: A sample of 20 moderately cognitively impaired rehabilitation patients (mean age 84.5 years) tested the feasibility and acceptability of the LiFE exercises.
resultsThe testing resulted in floor effects for every tested exercise. Of the exercises two were too difficult for over the half of the participants, namely stepping over objects and walking on heels. In contrast, the sit to stand exercise was feasible for 95% of the patients. The frequency of floor effects for the remaining exercises varied between 20% and 40%.
conclusionIn this group of moderately cognitively impaired rehabilitation patients the exercises were feasible mostly under supervised conditions and frequently included additional physical support. An adjustment of the LiFE exercises in this setting is required before a trial should be performed in the acute care setting.
