Managing Frailty Through Mobilization in Males and Female Inpatients with Cardiovascular Disease

At the Georges-L. Dumont hospital, a patient mobilization program has been introduced on floor 4C that embeds Kinesiologists within care to visit patients daily. A team of Kinesiologists visit the patients daily to promote movement and help them mobilize to the best of their capabilities (e.g., walking, standing, or sitting on the edge of the bed). The investigators propose to continue this individualized model but incorporate activity and frailty measures in males and females with cardiovascular disease.
