Abstrakt: A new report from researchers at Federal University Rio Grande do Sul explores the relationship between muscle power enhancements and functional gains in older patients. The study included 302 older patients from two randomized clinical trials, with an average age of 86.7 years. The researchers found that muscle power gains were most notable in patients who showed improvements in the Short Physical Performance Battery and gait velocity, highlighting the importance of muscle power in functional recovery. This research provides valuable insights into the role of exercise interventions in acute care units for older patients. [Extracted from the article]
