Acute Rehabilitation in Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
COVID-19 can have different clinical manifestations including myalgia, arthralgia, neurological, cardiac, psychological and other manifestations.These patients are at greater risk of developing consequences of prolonged bed rest. Therefore physical medicine and rehabilitation could have an important role in the multidisciplinary treatment of these issues. Early respiratory and neuromuscular rehabilitation is necessary to improve functional physical limitations, performance, muscle strength, endurance as well as cognitive and emotional domains. Some studies proposed that rehabilitation protocols in the inpatient setting include early mobilisation, strength and endurance training with the aim of reducing weakness and dependency. This Study aimed to detect the effects of rehabilitation in patients with Covid-19 who were admitted in temporary Covid hospital in Serbia. Furthermore, to emphasize the importance of functional assessment of the patients, in identifying their problems and selections of priorities in planning the best therapeutic protocol.

Other: Severity of COVID-19 infection Based on the severity of Covid-19 infection patients were divided into 2 groups: First group (MMG) mild to moderate group and second group (SSG) stable severe group. |
Procedure: Acute rehabilitation program
Patients included in the study started the rehabilitation program when they were hemodynamic stable, when it was determined that it was safe for patients. Until discharge from the hospital, a re-evaluation of neuromuscular and respiratory function was performed.
