• Abstract

  Extensive protocols of preoperative physical training that delay tumor resections may not be feasible in the treatment of malignant disease. Good results have been demonstrated in relation to postoperative benefits with a preoperative physical training of up to seven days in patients with lung cancer. However, the efficacy of short protocols of preoperative physical training in patients w…

• Abstract

  Accelerometry is considered the gold standard method to assess physical activity level. However, there is no standardization of its use in hospitalized patients. Objectives: 1) To test the calibration of the accelerometer to detect different intensities activities in hospitalized patients by indirect calorimetry; 2) To compare the accuracy of accelerometry made in the wrist and waist of h…

• Abstract

  Promoting the benefits of keeping the hospitalized surgical patient physically active is essential to prevent the impairment of their functional capacity and other harms that generate new hospitalizations preventable by increasing their mobility. However, in clinical practice, we found patients spending long periods in their beds. Objectives: to evaluate the effects of preoperative physic…

• Abstract

  Introduction: The level of physical activity decreases progressively with age. Elderly people who are physically active have lower rates of morbidity and mortality when compared to inactive elderly. Hospitalization leads to long periods of bed rest and physical inactivity, with consequent muscle atrophy, generalized weakness, decreased independence, and functionality. Therefore, preventin…

  Effect of physiotherapy orientation on hospitalized elderly inactivity time: a controlled and randomized trial, BP.MS

• Abstract

  Respiratory symptoms and impaired mobility have a high prevalence among the elderly. The association between both factors aged-related may lead to significant adverse outcomes. The use of questionnaires with adequate reproducibility is needed to research and in clinical practice. Objectives: to test the reproducibility (reliability, compliance, and reliability) of the University of Alabam…
