Background summary
It's important to move - A frequently heard comment, but how does this compare
to the hospital population?
Physical inactivity can lead to undesirable changes in multiple systems, such
as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory and cognitive system.
Research shows that healthy elderly who spend 10 days in bed have already lost
10-15% of their muscle mass, which may lead to loss of function.
Despite this knowledge, hospitalization often leads to the development of
physical inactivity. On average, patients in the hospital move 4-7 minutes per
day. More than 90% of the day they are sitting in a chair, or lying in bed.
This means that the average hospital patient is not only physically inactive,
but also exhibits sedentary behavior.
In order to minimize the time spent in bed, it is important to not only provide
exercise' facilities. The behavior of the patients can be changed by involving
them more in the daily care around the bed. Changing patients' behavior and
stimulating physical activity can be done in several ways. The project can be
broadly implemented, when a specialism-specific program is provided.
Study objective
The research is conducted to gain insight in the level of physical activity of
patients. This is an observational study to assess the time spent on physical
activities during regular hospital admissions and to investigate which
interventions are suitable to stimulate the physical activity of patients in a
positive way.
Research questions focus on descriptive analysis: a description of the exercise
patterns of the various patient groups, the relationship between physical
fitness at the day of admission and the level of physical activity during
hospitalization, and which exercise applications can be implemented to
stimulate physical activity during hospitalizations.
Study design
Observational study.
Study burden and risks
Burden
Data is collected during hospital admission. The research wil not prolong
admission. Patients do not need follow-up appointments for this research.
Collection of data will take approximately 35 minutes (15 minutes for the
survey and 20 minutes for the physical tests - if the patient is capable of
full completion).
Risks
Not applicable.
