Background: Illness and inactivity in the hospital frequently leads to disability that can reduce quality of life and increase costs. Early identification of people with limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) who are at risk for poor outcomes such as increased length of stay (LOS), hospital acquired conditions (i.e., falls and pressure injuries (PIs)), and discharge away from home can facilitate appropriate intervention. The Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care Inpatient Activity Short Form (AM-PAC IASF), a reliable and valid tool to measure ADL limitations, is scored at admission for all patients in our hospital. The purpose of this study …

Aims and Objectives: 1) To synthesize available evidence for mode, dosage, and timing of physical therapy in the acute care hospital setting. 2) To report the evidence about the effects of mode, dosage, and timing of physical therapy in the acute care hospital setting on LOS, associated costs, and PT-related outcomes. Background: Hospital based physical therapy quality depends on providing evidence-based interventions, however, the research regarding dosage, mode, and timing of physical therapy in the acute care hospital setting has not been synthesized for patient populations except for total joint arthroplasties or patients in the ICU. Design: A systematic search …
