Physical Activity Program Implementation in Hospitalized Positive COVID-19 Older Adults

Study Overview
=================
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.
