The influence of hospital and home environments on physical activity and sedentary behaviour: Perceptions of people recovering from fractures.

Background: A lack of evidence exists contrasting the factors that influence physical activity and sedentary behaviour in both hospital and home settings before and after discharge from acute hospitalisation for fractures.

Objective: To describe and compare perceptions of environmental influences on physical activity in hospital and home settings in people recovering from fractures.

Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients hospitalised following fractures (hip fracture or multi-trauma), exploring the barriers and enablers to physical activity within hospital and home settings.

Validity of the activPAL and ActiGraph for measuring sitting time and steps in hospitalised orthopaedic patients with altered weight bearing.

Purpose: To determine the criterion validity of the activPAL and ActiGraph for measuring steps and sitting/sedentary time, compared to observation, in people hospitalised following orthopaedic lower limb injury who were weight bearing (WB) (i.e., walking) or non-weight bearing (NWB) (i.

Levels of Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior During and After Hospitalization: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To systematically review and synthesize the evidence on physical activity and sedentary behavior during and after hospitalization.

Data Sources: Electronic databases and reference lists of relevant articles were searched from 2000 to April 2020.

Study Selection: Studies which continuously monitored physical activity and/or sedentary behavior in hospitalized adults across 2 settings (ie, without a break in measurement between settings).
