Hospitalized older adults (aged ≥65 years) are at risk for functional decline and negative outcomes associated with immobility, such as pressure injuries and falls. There is a paucity of research that examines impacts of mobility interventions in older adults in medical surgical units. The current systematic review examines the impact of mobility-related interventions in this population. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guided this review. Eligibility determination and data extraction, synthesis, and evaluation were independently performed by the authors. Findings revealed that older adult patients who participated in mobility protocols or early mobility programs were mobilized significantly more and were more mobile after discharge. Several studies also showed reduced hospital length of stay (LOS). The literature supports mobility programs as interventions that can have significant impacts on mobilization for medical surgical patients and reduce hospital LOS.

住院的老年人（≥65 岁）存在功能衰退和与不动相关的负面结果的风险，例如压力损伤和跌倒。很少有研究检查移动干预对医疗外科单位中老年人的影响。目前的系统评价检查了与移动相关的干预措施对该人群的影响。系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目指导了这次审查。资格确定和数据提取、综合和评估由作者独立进行。调查结果显示，参与移动协议或早期移动计划的老年患者活动量明显更多，出院后移动性更强。几项研究还显示住院时间（LOS）缩短。文献支持流动计划作为干预措施，可以对内科手术患者的活动产生重大影响并减少医院 LOS。[老年护理杂志，48（7），24-30。]
