The post-COVID syndrome is a set of signs and symptoms that can persist from 3 weeks to 3 months after the resolution of an acute process, predominantly including fatigue and dyspnea, this makes it very difficult to return to your activities. the daily life of those who suffer from it. The objective of the research is to propose a therapeutic exercise program that improves physical condition in patients with post-COVID 19 syndrome. To meet the objective, a search and analysis of articles that included information related to post-COVID syndrome was carried out. COVID-19, its evaluation and the treatments provided with therapeutic exercise and respiratory physiotherapy. The proposed program was applied to university staff and students who met the inclusion criteria. Two evaluations were carried out, one initial and one final; the results show significant data of improvement in physical condition. Conclusion: The proposed exercise program allows the patient to recover functionality, impacting the physical condition, which as a consequence improves the quality of life and facilitates their integration into society.
COVID-19 is a virus that has impacted the world leaving great economic, social and, above all, health devastation. Currently, the various sequelae that it leaves in post- infected patients are being studied, being dyspnea and fatigue the most predominant. In this sense, the aim of this article was to generate a functional evaluation proposal that allows to know the sequelae in the physical capacity in post COVID-19 patients, for the intervention of an adequate physiotherapeutic treatment plan. The methodology that was implemented was basically a review of the current literature in different databases, the list of all the articles that were found and the references of relevant review articles were also examined to identify the magnitude of the sequelae and measuring instruments for an effective intervention. Finally, the contribution is undoubtedly towards the functional assessment of the post-COVID-19 patient, being a useful tool at the time of the physiotherapist's approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
