Completed
Conditions
COVID-19 Infection
Interventions
Other: physical activity program
Registration Number
NCT04647682
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Toulouse
Brief Summary

Our hypothesis was that physical activity program will be acceptable and may counteract physical and mental decline among older adults hospitalized in COVID-19 unit

Detailed Description

The 30 second chair test, balance with joint-feet and semi-tandem stance, and 4 meters comfortable walking test were evaluated. Depending on their score, a specific physical activity (PA) program was selected and explained. The program was printed, explained and left in the room. This intervention included 5 different PA programs.

Final evaluation (one day before leaving the unit) recording physical performance (same physical tests used for inclusion evaluation), Hospital Anxiety and depression (HAD) score, Activities Daily Living (ADL) and self-satisfaction of the program.
