Abstract

Introduction: Hospitalization may cause changes in physical and functional capabilities of patients. Objectives: To identify the effects of hospitalization on functional capacity and quality of life of cardiometabolic patients. Methods: Ten patients were evaluated in two periods (Collection 1: hospitalization) and (Collection 2: high), the variables were grip strength, reaction speed, static balance test, aerobic fitness , physical activity index , index of activities of daily living and quality of life evaluation. Results: The hospitalization caused decline in variables, handgrip strength and reaction speed, however the activities of daily living and quality of life showed improvement. Conclusions: The findings identify the limitations of the comprehensive care clinic as verifying the need for expanded approach of health care in hospital practice.
