Brief Summary

The acute respiratory infection is the fourth most common cause of hospital stay between elderly people. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the repercussion of hospital stay in hospitalized patients with a respiratory infection.

Conditions

Respiratory Infection

Keywords

respiratory infection; physical variables

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Strength in upper and lower limbs

  The quadriceps and the hand-grip strength is assessed using a dynamometer with a standard protocol allowing three attempts on each side. During each measurement, patients were sitting with their shoulder adducted and elbow flexed to 90°. The maximum value achieved was used in the analyses. This is important in order to quantify the increase of strength Kg/cm2 The test 2-minute step in place is also going to be used for this purpose, counting the times the patients go up the right knees in two minutes.

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Quality of life

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days

• Lung function

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days

• Activity monitoring

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days

• Quality of sleep

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days

• Mood

  Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days
