Implementation of the MOX Activity Monitor in Hospitalized Geriatric Rehabilitation

Staying active is essential for healthy aging, but hospitalized older adults in rehabilitation often move very little. This study explores how much physical activity these patients actually get and how it relates to their recovery. Using the MOX activity monitor-a device that accurately tracks walking, standing, and sedentary time-the study aims to better understand daily activity patterns during rehabilitation. Researchers will test the best way to use the MOX monitor, develop a standard protocol for its use, and integrate its data into patients' electronic health records. By comparing MOX activity data with standard measures of physical performance, the study will determine how useful activity monitoring is for tracking recovery in older patients. This could lead to improved care and more personalized rehabilitation plans in the future.
