Summary

Background: Conventional face-to-face in-hospital mobility program (MP) is challenging for COVID-19 patients because of its associated risk of infection to hospital staff, staffing shortages as well as indirect risk of exposure to other hospitalized patients. Exergames are digital or web-based games that use body movement to promote physical activity and generally involve strength, balance, and flexibility exercises. The tele-exergame MP, developed by the team, uses a remotely supervised and game-based approach, which helps to increase patient motivation and engagement in a cognitively demanding exercise program.

Objectives: To demonstrate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the Tele-Exergame mobility program in COVID-19 or PUI (persons under investigation), during hospitalization and examine post-hospitalization outcomes.

Research Design: Prospective randomized

  • COVID 19
  • Rehabilitation
  • Inpatient
  • Hospitalized

Interventions

OTHER

Tele-exergaming Tablet

The Tele-Exergame platform virtually supervises exercise tasks and coaches patients to perform evidence-based foot and ankle exercises that have been designed to improve balance, cognition, and lower extremity vascular health. The exergame program uses a game-based approach, similar to playing a video game, which helps to increase patient motivation and engagement in the cognitively demanding exercise program.
