Improving Patient Walking During Hospitalization
NCT04479943 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The MOVIN (Mobilizing Older adult patients Via a systems-based Intervention) randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the impact of the MOVIN intervention on improving the functional ability of older adult hospital patients and reducing their healthcare utilization post-hospitalization. MOVIN is a program to increase patient ambulation while hospitalized. The study's hypothesis is that MOVIN will improve functional outcomes for hospitalized older adult patients by producing a change in nursing practice and culture of ambulation on inpatient units. MOVIN is a unit-based intervention. Therefore all patients on this unit are exposed to the intervention once it is implemented regardless of whether or not they participate in the trial. The study will enroll 360-420 total hospitalized participants 65 years and older for the duration of their stay.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04479943
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04479943 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 387 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Wisconsin, Madison, which has 943 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Older Adults appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which MOVIN is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04479943 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Wisconsin. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
