Solution to Make Exercise Prescription Work in Hospitals! MSc, CEO Ingela Sjölin (Pt1) - Practitioner’s Viewpoint Series

Early mobilization and exercise after surgery are crucial for reducing both postoperative complications and hospital length of stay. The challenge is that in many cases, the prescribed exercises are not entered in the patient chart, causing confusion for both patient and staff regarding the extent to which these orders are actually followed. One solution for this dilemma is the Activity Board, which clearly visualizes the individual exercise schedule prescribed by the physical therapist for the patient. By placing the Activity Board at the patient’s bedside, staff and patients can easily follow up at any time of day to ensure that all exercises were carried out, including on weekends and holidays when the physical therapist is not always available. The Activity Board is also appropriate for patients with other medical problems, as well as for residents of assisted living facilities who are receiving care, or individuals who live at home and are undergoing rehabilitation with the assistance of home help services.   This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Collect self-report physical activity data easily and cost-effectively with Mimove. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher
