Comparison of Balance Confidence in Older Adults With and Without Long-Haul COVID-19.
J Aging Phys Act
March 2025
Department of Health and Human Development, Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA, USA.
Background/objectives: The effects of long COVID-19 on balance and fall risk in older adults are unknown. This study aimed to explore the relationship between balance confidence/fall risk, as assessed by the Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale and the Falls Efficacy Scale-International, and long COVID-19 status in older adults.
Methods: This study assessed balance confidence and concern of falling in older adults (≥60 years) with long COVID-19 (long-haulers, n = 30) compared with older adults who experienced COVID-19 but not long COVID-19 (non-long-haulers, n = 60) and older adults (controls) who self-reported never having COVID-19 (n = 52).
Episodic disability framework in the context of Long COVID: Findings from a community-engaged international qualitative study.

Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Increasing numbers of adults are living with the health-related consequences of Long COVID. The Episodic Disability Framework (EDF), derived from perspectives of adults living with HIV, characterizes the multi-dimensional and episodic nature of health-related challenges (disability) experienced by an individual. Our aim was to determine the applicability of the Episodic Disability Framework to conceptualize the health-related challenges experienced among adults living with Long COVID.

February 2025
Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: Emerging evidence shows the lasting impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on health care use and needs. Policy-makers require data on population-level service use to understand patient needs and health system impacts following hospitalization for COVID-19.
Objective: To compare health service use within 12 months following hospitalization for COVID-19 among people with and without pre-existing disabilities, and to determine the extent to which such use is related to disability and other risk factors.
Comparison of long-term healthcare use among older adults with disabilities following hospitalization for COVID-19, sepsis, or influenza: a population-based cohort study.

Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Background: People with disabilities are at elevated risk of adverse short-term outcomes following hospitalization for acute infectious illness. No prior studies have compared long-term healthcare use among this high-risk population. We compared the healthcare use of adults with disabilities in the one year following hospitalization for COVID-19 vs.

Background: Early exercise intervention studies showed promising positive effects of physical exercising on post-COVID-19 symptoms; however, little is known about long-term training adherence and what influences it.
Material And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants of the 8‑week original exercise intervention study. Facilitators and barriers were identified via thematic analysis and compared between those participants who continued their regular exercise behavior (continuous exercise group, CEG, n = 7) and those who stopped exercising (discontinuous exercise group, DEG, n = 10).
