Effect of Physiotherapy on Subjective Evaluation Post-COVID Symptoms
Original language description
Present paper introduces results of effect evaluated by the self-reported subjective questionnaires of persistent symptoms for outpatients after COVID-19. The most frequent symptoms typical for post-COVID syndrome are dyspnea, fatigue, myalgia, sleep disorders, arthralgia, caught, headaches etc. We called these symptoms persistent post-COVID-19 symptoms and these maintain 12 and more weeks after infection of COVID19. Because rehabilitation must also be effective for a larger number of patients, we assume that presented novel group physiotherapy protocol, will be very effective in subjective evaluation of patients´ well-being. The program is based on recommended rehabilitations´ standards for pulmonary rehabilitation in COVID-19 based on recent literature. We evaluated effectivity of specific rehabilitation program of group physiotherapy for outpatients after COVID-19 disease at the rehabilitation clinic of the Department of Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation of St. Anne’s University Hospital in Brno. We currently included 36 patients to participate in this program and statistically analyzed 28 of them by COPD Assessment Test for subjective assessment of pulmonary functions and Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Scale for evaluation of fatigue. Both are standardized self-reported questionnaires. We found strong statistically significant improvement after group physiotherapy in subjective evaluation of dyspnea and fatigue. Based on presented data we assumed that also group physiotherapy program can be well effective tool for patients with persistent post-COVID symptoms.
