We assessed the feasibility of a multi-component prehabilitation program.<h4>Methods</h4>This single-arm trial was conducted at an academic medical center to test the feasibility of an individualized prehabilitation program before major surgery. The program consisted of twice-weekly physical therapy, weekly dietician consultations with daily protein supplementation, and weekly group meditation for 3-4 weeks. The primary outcome was adherence, as measured by the proportion of completed sessions. Secondary outcomes included changes in gait speed, chair stands, and grip strength after intervention and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Physical FunctiJournal of the American Geriatrics SocietyMulti-Component Prehabilitation Program for Older Adults Undergoing Major Elective Surgery: A Pilot and Feasibility Study.PMC12453604K24 AG073527K24AG073527Kim DHXu KChase TSison SMTravison TGPrudhivi VWang KYShi SMAlshanniek SMesnik LSubramaniam BRangasamy VLiu YNewmeyer NfalseMulti-Component Prehabilitation Program for Older Adults Undergoing Major Elective Surgery: A Pilot and Feasibility Study.<h4>Background</h4>Prehabilitation may help older adults recover after surgery, yet adherence has been variable.
