Abstrakt: | Introduction: Physical activity is essential in the osteoarthritis population, however, confinement during the COVID pandemic forced lifestyle changes. An observational and descriptive study was conducted to assess physical exercise in people with degenerative osteoarticular disease (DOD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods: A telephone survey was conducted among people over 60 years of age with DOD previously treated at the Hospital Central de la Cruz Roja, assessing physical exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic confinement. The variables (time of physical exercise, causes if exercise was reduced, and pain intensity) were analysed and compared with the situation prior to home confinement. Results: A total of 33 patients (8 men, 25 women) were included, with a mean age of 75.6 years. Polyarthrosis was the most frequent diagnosis. 51.5% performed the same amount of physical exercise, 21.21% performed more and 24.2% less than before. Only 6.1% performed more than 1 h a day of activity. 36.4% had more pain than previously. Conclusions: Although there is a high adherence to the exercises learned in the rehabilitation service, COVID-19 confinement has had a negative effect on the level of exercise performed by POD patients. It is advisable to encourage physical exercise during periods of lockdown. (Copyright © 2022 Sociedad Española de Rehabilitación y Medicina Física. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.
