Clinical Trial: Targeting Muscle Strength Loss Due to Hospitalization in Older Adults by Blood-flow Restriction Combined With an Electromyography-driven Serious Game.

U.S., Dec. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07294131) titled 'Targeting Muscle Strength Loss Due to Hospitalization in Older Adults by Blood-flow Restriction Combined With an Electromyography-driven Serious Game.' on Dec. 17.

Brief Summary: This study investigates a new training method designed to help older adults preserve their muscle strength during hospitalization. When older adults are admitted to the hospital and spend long periods in bed, their muscles can weaken very quickly. This condition is known as hospital-associated disability (HAD), and it can lead to longer hospital stays, reduced independence, and an increased risk of complications or even death.
