Objectives: To investigate the effects of a 12-month home-based exercise program on functioning and falls among persons with signs of frailty.

Design: A randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation.

Setting: Home-based.

Participants: Home-dwelling persons aged 65 years or older meeting at least 1 frailty phenotype criteria (N=300). The mean age of the participants was 82.2 +/- 6.3 years, 75% were women, 61% met 1-2 frailty criteria, and 39% met >= 3 criteria.

Interventions: A 12-month, individually tailored, progressive, and physiotherapist-supervised physical exercise twice a week (n=150) vs usual care (n=149).

Main Outcome Measures: FIM, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), handgrip strength, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and self-reported falls and physical activity (other than intervention). Assessed 4 times at home over 12 months.

Results: FIM deteriorated in both groups over 12 months, -4.1 points (95% confidence interval [CI], -5.6 to -2.5) in the exercise group and -6.9 (95% CI, -8.4 to -2.3) in the usual care group (group P=.014, time P

Conclusions: One year of physical exercise improved physical performance and decreased the number of falls among people with signs of frailty. FIM differed between the groups at 12 months, but exercise did not prevent deterioration of FIM, IADL, or handgrip strength. (C) 2021 The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine.
