Questionnaire for identifying people at risk of deconditioning (in French only)
Deconditioning happens when someone’s physical or cognitive condition declines after a sedentary period or when under-stimulated intellectually or socially.
This can lead to many consequences such as balance problems, falls, malnutrition, delirium or increased risk of infection.
Rest and immobility are the worst enemies of maintaining autonomy.
Remain active! It is important to move about regularly while respecting your limits.
