Study Summary
This trial will compare whether reducing sedentary time for patients in acute care results in less frailty at discharge, compared to the current standard of care. All patients will wear accelerometers, then be randomly assigned to a control or intervention group. The control group will only receive standard of care while in hospital. Participants in the intervention group will have daily goals for time out-of-bed, and receive feedback on a bedside monitor. If participants in the intervention group haven't met their daily goal by late afternoon, they'll receive assisted mobilization. The main outcome is frailty, assessed by a frailty index.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Fitted with accelerometer to measure time spent out of bed while in hospital; daily goals set for time spent out of bed; mobilization feedback real-time feedback on goal attainment; hands on mobilization by physiotherapist for participants in late afternoon for participants who do not meet daily goal.
Group II: Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
Fitted with an accelerometer to measure time spent out of bed while in hospital. Otherwise, participants in the control group will receive usual care from the hospital medical team during their hospital stay. Daily activities of participants will not be restricted if patients are assigned to the control group.
