*Data on any measure of overall mobility in each trial were extracted as the primary outcome of mobility in this study.
†Denotes studies included in meta-analysis.
‡Only two of three comparison groups examined exercise interventions.
C, community only; H&C, hospital and community; H, hospital only; Modified PPT, modified Physical Performance Test; N, no; PPME, Physical Performance Mobility Examination; Self-efficacy WES, Self-efficacy for Walking Exercise Scale; SPPB, Short Physical Performance Battery; Tinetti's POMA, Tinetti's Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment; Y, yes.
