Physical exercise is an effective strategy to maintain functional ability and improve debilitating symptoms in the elderly.In addition to functional enhancement, exercise is considered a cornerstone for enhancing cognitive function in debilitated older adults with cognitive impairment and dementia.The investigators evaluated the effect of the Vivifrail exercise intervention on the degree of debilitation in elderly hospitalized patients after venous hemolysis in acute ischemic stroke
Elderly patients who are acutely hospitalized, including those who are able to walk independently, spend most of their stay in bed.In addition to worsening their functional status leading to significant muscle wasting and the development of other symptoms, it also increases the risk of cognitive decline and dementia in older adults, which is more pronounced in patients with acute ischemic stroke after venous hemolysis, and increases awareness of the need to replace prolonged bed rest with physical activity or exercise.Because there is evidence that this therapy during hospitalization is effective;A large number of studies have shown that rehabilitation training for AIS patients within 24 hours of onset is beneficial food. In addition, exercise can reduce the damage caused by acute illness and hospitalization.Even so, it has not been established whether exercise therapy affects the degree of weakness or whether weakness affects response to treatment. While frailty is not a disease, it can affect the presentation of many age-related diseases and the response to treatment.For example, after a short period of strength exercise in frail elderly people, autophagy in muscle cells is activated, affecting the overall health of the muscles and thus the ability to move.Similarly, the inflammatory response increases after vigorous aerobic exercise.It was also less clear whether individuals with higher frailty had any response to the intervention. Multi-Component Exercise（Vivifrail） is an innovative multi-component exercise program that includes strength training, endurance training, balance training, and flexibility training to improve the exerciser's gait, balance, and cardiorespiratory function by increasing muscle mass, strength, and endurance.Recent studies have shown that it is one of the best ways to improve patients' gait, balance, cardiopulmonary function and cognitive executive function, as well as the best way to treat frailty, and can reduce the risk of falls and delay cognitive decline in elderly hospitalized patients with neurocognitive disorders. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of exercise intervention on the level of frailty in older adults admitted for venous hemolysis for acute ischemic stroke.The effects of baseline frailty levels on the intervention, effectiveness of frailty, changes in Physical function (Modified Barthel Index (MBI), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and other health outcomes were determined.

The Vivifrail program (http://vivifrail.com) is a home-based exercise program that focuses on personalized multi-component exercise prescriptions based on an elderly person's functional abilities, including resistance/strength, balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance exercise (i.e., walking). During hospitalization, patients who meet the criteria of sodium intake will be screened, and then divided into groups according to the method of randomized controlled trial. The experimental group will carry out corresponding exercise plan according to the results of SPPB.

RECRUITINGShort Physical Performance Battery（SPPB）
The SPPB test to determine the level of frailty is a composite of the following three separate measures: 1. \- Balance test. 2. \- Walking speed test over 4 meters. 3. \- Test of getting up from a chair. Add the points of the SPPB test (1 to 3) to determine the grade. * If due to limitations, you have not performed the SPPB test and you have elected to use the 6-meter walking test, the following values will be used to recommend the physical exercise program. Points 0-3 scores are considered as disability and given program A intervention; A score of 4-6 is considered as the early stage of asthenia and B intervention program is given; A score of 7-9 was considered as weak and C intervention program was given; A score of 10-12 is considered as healthy people and D intervention program is given
Time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed within the first 2 days（Day 2） and at 1 month（Month 1） after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
Modified Barthel Index
The assessment of the individual's daily living ability includes 10 items, including eating, decoration, bathing, etc. Each index is divided into 5 levels: complete dependence, greater dependence, medium dependence, lesser dependence, and independence. The higher the score, the better the independence of daily life, a total of 100 points
Time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed within the first 2 days（Day 2） and at 1 month（Month 1） after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
FRAIL Scale
Including fatigue, can not go up a flight of stairs, can not walk 500 m, suffering from more than 5 diseases, body mass decline a total of 5 indicators, using two classification scoring method, a total of 5 points. 0 was classified as no frailty, 1-2 as pre-frailty, and ≥3 as frailty.
Time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed within the first 2 days（Day 2） and at 1 month（Month 1） after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
Grip
Use electronic grip dynamometer (Model: EH101) Before measurement, the instrument was calibrated to 0, the grip distance was adjusted, the fingers were naturally placed in the grip groove position, the study subjects were seated in the end position, the arm extension did not exceed 30 degrees, the upper arm and the forearm were 90 degrees, and the hands were measured with the maximum strength, the measurement interval was about 1 minute, so that the measuring hand could have enough relaxation and rest. A total of three tests were conducted. Average the ultimate grip strength, accurate to 0.1kg.
Time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed within the first 2 days（Day 2） and at 1 month（Month 1） after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
Patient Health Questionaire - 9 items，PHQ -9
It included 9 symptom scales and 1 overall functional assessment. Symptom scales were evaluated as follows: loss of interest, low mood, sleep disorders, fatigue, eating disorders, inferiority, difficulty in concentration, psychomotor delay, suicide symptoms, and item 10 was the overall functional assessment. The item definition was expressed in the form of short sentences, with a 4-level score ranging from 0 to 3, and the frequency of symptom occurrence in nearly 2 weeks. (0 indicates no symptoms, 1 indicates several days of symptoms, 2 indicates more than 7 days of symptoms, and 3 indicates almost every day of symptoms), the overall functional evaluation item is rated according to the degree of impact of symptoms on work, family or social function (0 indicates no, 1 indicates some impact, 2 indicates very impact, and 3 indicates very impact).
Time frame: This outcome measure will be assessed within the first 2 days（Day 2） and at 1 month（Month 1） after intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke.
HendrichⅡfall risk model,HFRM
There were 8 items including male, depressive state, dizziness, taking anti-epileptic drugs, standing up and walking test, and confusion. The total score was 16 points, and ≥5 was classified as high risk
Time frame: Acute ischemic stroke was evaluated within 48h of intravenous thrombolysis up to 4 weeks.
