Individuals Receiving Inpatient Rehabilitation Show the Highest Objectively Measured Physical Activity Level During OT

Abstract

Date Presented 04/01/2022 Many patients in inpatient rehabilitation may spend too much time being sedentary. According to our findings of objectively measured physical activity levels, individuals receiving inpatient rehabilitation were most physically active during OT but were more sedentary during nonrehabilitation times and days. Therapists should consider implementing individualized therapy plans for patients to perform independently and safely without a therapist present during inpatient rehabilitation.
