Barriers and facilitators for physical fitness training in orthopedic geriatric rehabilitation. A qualitative study.
Article in Disability and rehabilitation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of this explorative, qualitative study is to identify factors that potentially influence the execution of physical fitness training in inpatient orthopedic geriatric rehabilitation (GR), from the perspectives of patients, their relatives and professionals. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn GR wards of skilled nursing facilities in the Netherlands, semi-structured interviews were held with triads of patients, their relatives and responsible nurses, and focus groups with members of the multidisciplinary teams. Verbatim reports were analyzed according to the framework method.
resultsWe found twelve categories of barriers and facilitators related to characteristics of the patients, their family, staff, training program and organization.
conclusionsThe barriers and facilitators found largely correspond with those found for participation in exercise in related settings, but also show important differences. This overview of barriers and facilitators enables multidisciplinary teams to design improvements at the level of the organization and interventions, as well as at the level of the individual training program, tailoring it to the patient's circumstances and needs. Further research should focus on weighing these barriers and facilitators to develop a feasible guidance for daily practice, as well as testing their effect on the adherence to existing physical fitness training guidelines.
