COVID19: Some basic facts
Of admitted patients 30% will require critical care, 70% will require other healthcare
50% of those hospitalised are over 70 years old
Sarcopeania is underlyingly more prevalent in this age group
Average length of stay for admitted patients is 10.4 days
In older people 10.4 days of hospitalisation = 10 years of muscle loss
Reduced physical condition delays discharge
A high proportion of these patients will have reduced ability to participate in activities of daily living when recovering from Covid 19

Rehabilitation will be required at scale for patients with deconditioning leg and trunk weakness, anxiety and fatigue
It ensures staff are working to top of scope as well as skill sharing and delegating safely and effectively, thereby optimising workforce capacity whilst supporting staff to do so and reducing hand-offs and waiting times for patients
It can be used in the acute and community setting across health and social care sectors
