This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and the impact on physical performance and falls occurence among geriatric inpatients hospitalized in acute care unit.

Conditions

  • Elderly

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Simple physical exercises

1. The participant must stay out of the bed 3 hours. This pre-required level prevents the occurrence of acute postural mismatch which can occur when elderly patients are bedridden and too long increases the risk of falling. 2. The participant stands standing in static equilibrium to a chair holding the back of it for 2 minutes. Depending on the patient's abilities, the exercise will be done on both feet or one foot. 3. The participant performs a transfer activity of sitting to standing repeated 5 times (FTSS test). According to the patient's abilities, the exercise will be done with physical assistance or not.
