Feasibility and Effect of Implementing Physical Activity Program Implementation During COVID-19 in Hospitalized Positive COVID-19 Older Adults

In older adults, hospitalization is recognized to lead to iatrogenic issues. Indeed, hospitalizations are associated with functional (−33%) (2) and muscle strength (−6%) declines.

Zusammenfassung:In older adults, hospitalization is recognized to lead to iatrogenic issues. Indeed, hospitalizations are associated with functional (−33%) (2) and muscle strength (−6%) declines. During covid-19, measures such as decreasing drastically social interactions in patient’s room but also usual care such as physical rehabilitation activities have been implemented during hospitalization. However, even if these measures have been applied to protect the patient, they should be considered as accelerator risk factors of functional decline during hospitalization in older adults (3). In order to preserve or limit the physical and mental health declines (i.e. anxiety; stress), we implemented an unsupervised validated physical activity (PA) program (MATCH;(4, 5)) in a short-stay Covid-19 geriatric unit, during the covid-19 European 1st wave (March to April 2020).
