Patients with COVID-19 suffering in the acute phase from both sequelae of disease and prolonged immobilization require a rehabilitation for functional recovery comprehensive evaluation. This study proposes using 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) as global assessment tool to quantify outcomes post-COVID patients. Additionally, investigating effect High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) on patients musculoskeletal comorbidities was another key research question. Two programs were retrospectively analyzed follows: one consisting kinesiotherapy combined other alone. Functional evaluation 6MWT conducted before after 10 daily therapeutic sessions 33 ambulatory divided into 2 groups (18 treated HILT vs. 15 only). The successfully completed by 32 out (96.96%), performance improvements ranging 3% 60% among Statistical differences also observed between groups, suggesting that is sensitive, objective, valuable rehabilitation, supporting potential benefits enhancing recovery.
