2. Need for isolation

Intervention(s)
|
There will be 2 treatment groups (standard care and intervention group).
1. Standard care is what is currently done on the ward.
2. The intervention is prescribed regular chair based pedal exercises for 5 minutes 3 times a day until discharge or 7 days, whichever comes first in addition to the standard care delivered. Participants will be asked to pedal continuously with no pre-specified targets set, e.g. rpm or level of resistance. This exercise will be supervised initially by a member of the research team with subsequent supervision by members of the ward team. This is to replicate ‘real life’ hospital setting where exercises in hospital are initiated and observed by a therapist and the patients encouraged to continue with the exercises with support by the ward team.
Both arms of the trial will have access to the ward physiotherapist and an inpatient therapy plan as part of their standard care. The participants will also have similar access to medical, nursing and other allied healthcare staff.
