INTRODUCTION. Functionality is an important parameter in the evaluation of the geriatric patient, which predisposes to frailty, institutionalization, morbidity, disability and death. OBJECTIVE. Determine the role of gait velocity as a predictor of functional recovery in hospitalized older adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational, longitudinal, prospective study. With a total of 167 patients and a sample of 152, with inclusion criteria: older adult who required hospitalization, that his basic pathology did not prevent them from walking, and excluded: 13 patients due to inability to perform the gait speed test, final phase of life or presenting severe cognitive impairment, 1 due to death and 1 due to loss of data, performed at the Geriatrics Service of the Quito Hospital No. 1 of the National Police, in the period May to September 2014, the demographic data were obtained from the Unique Medical Records, the patients were evaluated using the comprehensive geriatric assessment scales: Barthel Index, Mini-Mental Test, Tinetti Scale; and, measurement of the speed of the march in 6 meters in two moments; upon admission and hospital discharge. For the analysis the Microsoft Excel 2010 program was used, in the bivariate correlation, the statistical program Statistical Package for Social Sciences Inc. Chicago, version 18.0 was used. for Windows XP. RESULTS. A statistically significant association (p <0.05) was found with all the study variables. CONCLUSION. The improvement in gait after hospital intervention was relevant, its speed was a predictor of reliable hospital stay, those patients with low gait
rates at admission, remained hospitalized for longer.
