There is a wide range of sequelae affecting COVID-19 survivors, including impaired physical capacity. These can affect the quality life and return to work active population. Therefore, one pillars following-up evaluation capacity, which be assessed with field tests (such as six-minute walk test, one-minute standing Chester step shuttle walking test) or laboratory cardiopulmonary exercise test). performed in different contexts have amply demonstrated their usefulness assessment capacity both post-COVID-19 patients other chronic respiratory, metabolic, cardiologic, neurologic diseases. However, when traditional cannot performed, function good substitute, especially for assessing effects an intervention. For example, Short Physical Performance Battery Timed Up Go are widely accepted older adults. Thus, test should chosen according characteristics each subject.

Abstract Background The characteristics of optimal virtual pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for individuals with post-COVID syndrome (PCS) have not been identified. This study aimed to assess the feasibility, safety, and satisfaction associated a PR program exercise component delivered through group or self-directed sessions. Methods Adults PCS-respiratory symptoms were randomly assigned video conference (PR VC ) SD completed an (aerobic, strengthening, breathing exercises) three times/week eight weeks. sessions led by physiotherapist via Zoom, whereas exercised individually following pre-recorded video.

Functional status and quality of life in post‐COVID‐19 patients two to three weeks after hospitalization: A cross‐sectional study

Health Science Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 6(8)

Published: Aug. 1, 2023

Abstract Background and Aims Extended hospitalization due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is associated with residual musculoskeletal functional deficits lasting even 6 months after discharge; therefore, it crucial that post‐hospitalized patients are promptly assessed. The aim of this study was identify post‐COVID‐19 patients' status quality life, as well investigate their inter‐relatedness 2–3 weeks hospital discharge. Methods included 39 previously hospitalized in the Clinic for Infectious Diseases at University Clinical Center Kosovo (UCCK) from August December 2021. Physiotherapeutic assessment encompassed socio‐demographic clinical data including Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) physical performance, hand grip strength, 6‐min Walk Test (6MWT) aerobic capacity endurance, EuroQol 5‐Dimension 5‐Level (EQ‐5D‐5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain, Borg CR10 dyspnea, peripheral oxygen saturation heart rate. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression analysis were utilized processing.
