ASSESSMENT | Use of scales recommended: • for autonomy, postural movements: Barthel index19 • for balance/gait: Tinetti scale20 • for risk of falls: Morse scale23 • for fatigue/dyspnoea: Borg scale26,27 • for endurance – 6-minute walking test28 if patient is able to perform it |
INTERVENTION | • controlled breathing exercises (if necessary with incentive spirometer) • active-assisted mobilisation • segmental-postural gymnastics • muscle strengthening of upper and lower limbs • walking/gait re-education (including with aids) • training in independent walking for progressively longer periods • incremental aerobic exercise with cycle ergometer/treadmill • verification of acquisition of self-management capacity concerning physical exercises to be performed at home |
