Assessment and prevention of frailty and sarcopenia are of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2020, the pandemic has been a new risk factor for frailty and sarcopenia. Feeding problems are common among older patients who had a stroke, advanced dementia, neurologic degenerative diseases (parkinsonism), or sarcopenic dysphagia.3 Although careful hand feeding is implemented in some geriatric units, nasogastric tube feeding is common in Hong Kong, particularly in residential care homes. Rehabilitation has beneficial effects on motor and swallowing function, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson disease.7,8 Pilates exercise seems to be useful to improve balance and motor function of patients with Parkinson disease.
