The probability of maintaining functional capacity in the initial 6 months of a pandemic was comparable to a 2-year non-pandemic follow-up. Pandemic-induced isolation strategies significantly impacted toileting and personal hygiene. Urinary decline was associated with minor functional decline (FD-1), while fecal decline correlated with major functional decline (FD-10). Notably, the number of days spent in room confinement did not significantly contribute to the observed decline.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>A substantial increase in the risk of FD among NH residents during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period was found. It is crucial to implement urgent, targeted interventions that prioritize promoting physical activity and the implementation of mobility and toileting programs. These measures are pivotal for mitigating functional decline and enhancing the overall health and well-being of NH residents in a pandemic context.</p>","PeriodicalId":49035,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141983618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
