The aim of this study was to quantify the effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation program for post-Covid-19 patients who reported disabling motor and respiratory symptoms after the infection. Nine post-covid patients were assessed in three session: at hospital admittance time (T0), at discharge time (T1) and at the end of the tele-rehabilitation program (T2) via instrumental (i.e. instrumented six-minute walking test and handgrip) and clinical (i.e. spirometry) tests. So far, just the data coming from the instrumented tests of three patients who completed the program were considered, showing an increasing trend in terms of both motor and strength parameters between the considered time points. The preliminary results suggested that the proposed tele-rehabilitation approach could have positive effects on motor function in post-covid patients.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to quantify the effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation program for post-Covid-19 patients who reported disabling motor and respiratory symptoms after the infection. Nine post-covid patients were assessed in three session: at hospital admittance time (T0), at discharge time (T1) and at the end of the tele-rehabilitation program (T2) via instrumental (i.e. instrumented six-minute walking test and handgrip) and clinical (i.e. spirometry) tests. So far, just the data coming from the instrumented tests of three patients who completed the program were considered, showing an increasing trend in terms of both motor and strength parameters between the considered time points. The preliminary results suggested that the proposed tele-rehabilitation approach could have positive effects on motor function in post-covid patients.
