Deconditioning

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1993
Many authors have stressed the negative effects of prolonged immobility by emphasizing organ system changes. When treating individuals for various medical problems, equal regard should be given to functional decline as well. Beneficial exercise programs can be adapted for geriatric populations regardless of their disability. As the geriatric population

Deconditioning of Exercise-Induced Asthma

Psychosomatic Medicine, 1977
The majority of asthmatic children develop a significant degree of bronchospasm after a moderate amount of exercise. Etiology of this phenomenon has remained unknown. Pulmonary function tests, measurements of blood gases, and immunological assessments have been essentially normal.

Deconditioning due to hospitalisation

Nursing Older People, 2017
Functional decline as a result of admission to hospital has been well documented since 1944. Older people are at much higher risk of deconditioning than their younger counterparts. This research focus summarises two early studies on deconditioning and one recent study that records the incidence of iatrogenic disability during hospitalisation.

Deconditioning and Time-Therapy

Journal of Mental Science, 1961
In view of the recent revival of interest in deconditioning, the treatment of a series of 35 cases of anxiety by this method may be of interest. This series has not been recorded previously although the treatment was carried out 20 years ago.

Rehabilitation for Hospital-Associated Deconditioning

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2009
Functional decline associated with acute hospitalization may be termed "hospital-associated deconditioning." This seems to be a relatively common problem, with older adults most frequently affected. As the older adult population in the United States is projected to double by 2030, the incidence of this condition is likely to increase in a similar ...

Airline Chair-Rest Deconditioning

Sports Medicine, 2004
Air passenger miles will likely double by year 2020. The altered and restrictive environment in an airliner cabin can influence haematological homeostasis in passengers and crew. Flight-related deep venous thromboemboli (DVT) have been associated with at least 577 deaths on 42 of 120 airlines from 1977 to 1984 (25 deaths/million departures), whereas ...

Biomechanics of the deconditioned left ventricle

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1996
To determine if strain and wall motion are enhanced in the left ventricle (LV) in a chronically afterload-reduced milieu, a magnetic resonance tagging technique was used to examine 19 subjects: 11 with transposition of the great arteries who have undergone an atrial inversion operation (TGA-LV, 11.6 +/- 4.3 yr postoperative) and eight normal adults ...

Hospital-associated deconditioning and dysfunction

Nursing Older People, 2017
A paper published in 1991 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society describes hospitalisation as a 'devastating' event for an older person. This was conceptualised as stemming from three discrete processes: the illness itself, adverse effects of treatment and the general effects of deconditioning.

Thermoregulation during Deconditioning

2004
The importance of maintaining body temperature is well understood by both clinicians and lay persons. The normal, resting body core temperature is about 37 C (98.6 F), and death often occurs when it falls below 27 C (80.6 F) or exceeds 42 C (107.6 F). Thus, for survival the degree of overheating is more critical than that for overcooling.
