Objective To analyze the published studies that investigated the physical function, activities of daily living and health-related quality of life in COVID-19 survivors. Design Systematic review. Methods We searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, SciELO, and Cochrane Library for studies that evaluated the physical function, activities of daily living and health-related quality of life after COVID-19 from the earliest date available to July 2021. Two independent reviewers screened and selected the studies. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale was used to evaluate methodological quality. Results We included 35 studies in this systematic review. Of the 35 studies included, 28 were cohort, and 7 cross-sectional studies The studies demonstrated that COVID-19 survivors had reduced levels of physical function, activities of daily living, and health-related quality of life. Furthermore, incomplete recovery of physical function, and performance in activities of daily living were observed 1 to 6 months post-infection. Discussion Physical disability and reduction in health-related quality of life is a common condition in post-COVID-19 and impairments may persist up to 1 to 6 months. Researchers and clinicians can use these findings to understand the potential disabilities and rehabilitation needs of people recovering from the COVID-19.
Introduction: The new corona virus (2019-nCoV OR HCOV-19 or CoV2), has emerged in China as the main cause of viral pneumonia (COVID-19, Coronavirus Disease-19). Objective: To provide evidence-based Physiotherapy and functionality in patients with adult and pediatric COVID-19. Methods: This is an integrative literature review using the MedLine / PubMed databases, library of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDRo). Results: Part of the patients with covid 19 show signs of respiratory deficiency with hypoxemia, with low severity in children. Impaired functionality is also expected. Conclusion: COVID-19 causes low pulmonary compliance and important changes in lung function with hypoxemia and cardiovascular repercussions. These changes lead to the need for Physiotherapy and the management of oxygen therapy and ventilatory support (invasive and non-invasive) for these patients.
Introdução: A respiração é uma atividade biomecânica complexa, que envolve o tronco e o esqueleto apendicular. Isso pode sugerir envolvimento dos músculos respiratórios como o diafragma na patomecânica do movimento humano. Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente estudos observacionais sobre a influência do músculo diafragma no controle postural, propriocepção e dor lombar em indivíduos adultos com lombalgia e assintomáticos. Métodos: Revisão sistemática baseado nas recomendações PRISMA, realizada nas bases de dados: Ebisco, Lilacs, Medline, Pedro, Scopus, Pubmed e Scielo, até dezembro de 2018. Utilizaram-se os descritores: diaphragm, low back pain, proprioception e postural balance. Consideramos elegíveis: estudos observacionais, com adultos assintomáticos, ou, com dor lombar. Resultados: As buscas identificaram 230 estudos, contudo, apenas 11 foram incluídos. Os estudos avaliaram 421 sujeitos de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 18 e 71 anos. Em assintomáticos, a ativação do diafragma antecede os movimentos do tronco e esqueleto apendicular. Já na dor lombar, existe descoordenação diafragmática e respiratória, quando comparados aos voluntários assintomáticos. Também foi demostrada associação entre os músculos respiratórios e a propriocepção. Conclusão: Os resultados demonstram que o diafragma exerce influência na biomecânica da coluna, no controle postural, propriocepção e sua disfunção está associada a gênese da dor lombar.Palavras-chave: diafragma, propriocepção, dor lombar, controle postural.
