Telerehabilitation in People With Long COVID
Sponsor:

Tri-Service General Hospital

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

chia-ying LAI

Brief Summary:

The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation in Post-COVID patients.

Condition or disease

COVID-19

Intervention/treatment

Home-based telerehabilitation

Education and self-exercise

Phase

NA

Detailed Description:

Decreased exercise capacity, persistent dyspnea and easily fatigue are found in some Post-COVID patients. Telerehabilitation has been developed in cardiac and pulmonary diseases such as coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for years with good clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the effectiveness of home-based telerehabilitation among Post-COVID patients. Thus, we want to investigate the effectiveness of telerehabilitation among Post-COVID patients, including cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity amounts, health related quality of life and sleep quality.
