Implementation of the MOX Activity Monitor in Hospitalized Geriatric Rehabilitation
Belgium40 participantsStarted 2025-08-08
Plain-language summary
Staying active is essential for healthy aging, but hospitalized older adults in rehabilitation often move very little. This study explores how much physical activity these patients actually get and how it relates to their recovery. Using the MOX activity monitor-a device that accurately tracks walking, standing, and sedentary time-the study aims to better understand daily activity patterns during rehabilitation.
Researchers will test the best way to use the MOX monitor, develop a standard protocol for its use, and integrate its data into patients' electronic health records. By comparing MOX activity data with standard measures of physical performance, the study will determine how useful activity monitoring is for tracking recovery in older patients. This could lead to improved care and more personalized rehabilitation plans in the future.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
