Clinical Trial Summary

Patients admitted to the hospital often develop functional impairments due to being in bed most of the day. Each day of bedrest leads to significant muscle loss. As a result, many patients become dependent on others or require rehabilitation at a facility to improve mobility and function prior to returning home. Staff in the hospital is limited and often unable to mobilize patients every day while hospitalized. The investigators are testing a new experimental gamified physical therapy exercise software to see if it can be a fun, enjoyable way to help mobilize patients without the assistance of staff. The primary aim of this pilot/proof of concept study is to determine whether gamified physical therapy software can help inpatients exercise within the safety of their own beds and preserve pre-hospitalization function.

Intervention

Device:
• Yoomi Physical Therapy Software
Physical Therapy software via a computer/monitor will be set up for the patient. It will begin with a tutorial video for different exercises in the form of games and then ask patients to perform in sequence with prompting and motion tracking. Exercises include Frontal Bicep Curls, Arm Crosses, Press Ups, Arm Rotations, and Basketball Shots.
