Abstract:Disturbances in the circadian activity rhythms (CARs) of inpatients in rehabilitation facilities delay the recovery of physical and mental functions. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the circadian activity rhythms of hospitalized patients in a rehabilitation facilitie using the synthetic periodic regression analysis, and investigate the relationship between their physical activity levels and CARs.An observational study was conducted. A group of thirty-four inpatients participated in the study by weari… Show more
