Proposal for functional evaluation of the patient post COVID-19

Abstract

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.
