Study Summary

Background: Conventional face-to-face in-hospital mobility program (MP) is challenging for COVID-19 patients because of its associated risk of infection to hospital staff, staffing shortages as well as indirect risk of exposure to other hospitalized patients. Exergames are digital or web-based games that use body movement to promote physical activity and generally involve strength, balance, and flexibility exercises. The tele-exergame MP, developed by the team, uses a remotely supervised and game-based approach, which helps to increase patient motivation and engagement in a cognitively demanding exercise program. Objectives: To demonstrate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the Tele-Exergame mobility program in COVID-19 or PUI (persons under investigation), during hospitalization and examine post-hospitalization outcomes. Research Design: Prospective randomized

Primary Outcome

Feasibility was assessed using three metrics. Metric 1: Number of participants able to independently complete at least one 3-minute Tele-Exergame session guided by the interactive tablet, assessed in both groups, as both the intervention and control groups performed one 3-minute session at baseline to establish feasibility. Metric 2: Number of participants who dropped out within the first three days of inpatient stay. For the intervention group, dropout was defined as not using the Tele-Exergame
