Conclusion : Based on available evidence , older adults with hip fracture engage in prolonged sedentary behavior and have low levels of physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery
Objective : To synthesize evidence on older adults ’  sedentary behavior and physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery for hip fracture ( 1 ) across the care continuum and ( 2 ) from clinical interventions .
Physical Activity Patterns of Acute Stroke Patients Managed in a Rehabilitation Focused Stroke Unit
Background . Comprehensive stroke unit care , incorporating acute care and rehabilitation , may promote early physical activity after stroke . However , previous information regarding physical activity specific to the acute phase of stroke and the comprehensive stroke unit setting is limited to one stroke unit . This study describes the physical activity undertaken by patients within 14 days after stroke admitted to a comprehensive stroke unit . Methods . This study was a prospect i ve observational study . Behavioural mapping was used to determine the proportion of the day spent in different activities . Therapist reports were used to determine the amount of  formal therapy  received on the day of observation . The timing of commencement of activity out of bed was obtained from the medical records . Results . On average , patients spent 45 % ( SD 25 ) of the day in some form of physical activity  and received 58 ( SD 34 ) minutes per day of  physiotherapy and occupational therapy combined . Mean time to first mobilisation out of bed was 46 ( SD 32 ) hours post-stroke . Conclusions . This study suggests that commencement of physical activity occurs earlier and physical activity is at a higher level early after stroke in this comprehensive stroke unit , when compared to studies of other acute stroke models of care
