Summary

The prospective study was conducted at a single location within the COVID-19 department of a city hospital. The study included COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 service and consulted for physiotherapy, were between the ages of 18 and 65, and had the capacity and inclination to participate in one daily physiotherapy session five days per week.

Detailed description

A hospital's COVID-19 service recruited 32 participants for the study. Patients were divided into two groups: COVID-19 (n=16; age = 53.81 9.48) and mutation (n=16; age = 55.25 10.12). Both groups underwent physiotherapy consisting of mobilization, normal range of motion, and a respiratory exercise program (COVID-19 group: 9.945.85 days; mutation group: 7.632.83 days). Every patient participated in a once-daily physiotherapy program. The patients' muscle strength, mobility, daily activities, exercise capacity, and perception of fatigue were assessed. To compare groups, the mixed repeated measures ANOVA model was used.
