Summary

The evolution of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic makes it more necessary the intervention of Primary Health Care Physiotherapy Units in patients with respiratory and/or functional sequelae after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 (acute respiratory sindrome by coronavirus) virus infection. Since some months ago, Primary Health Care use telerehabilitation tools to connect patients and health care professions while maintaining social distancing and restrictions. Tele-physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy which has the advantage of providing physical therapy interventions to patients' complications after COVID-19 by using a videoconferencing method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Physical Therapy telerehabilitation program in persistent post COVID-19 symptoms in Primary Health Care.

Detailed description

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a multisystem infectious disease which has led to a global pandemic. The evolution of COVID-19 disease makes it more necessary the intervention of Primary Health Care Physiotherapy Units in patients with respiratory and /or functional sequelae after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Problems such as breathlessness, exercise intolerance and loss of peripheral muscle strength can be observed in individuals who have been diagnosed with persistent post COVID-19. Since some months ago, Primary Health Care use telerehabilitation tools to connect patients and health care professions while maintaining social distancing and restrictions. Tele-physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy which has the advantage of providing physical therapy interventions to patients' complications after COVID-19 by using a videoconferencing method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Physical Therapy telerehabilitation program in persistent post COVID-19 symptoms in Primary Health Care.
