“…Dalbosco-Salas et al [ 30 ], Estebanez-Perez et al [ 11 ], and Kortianu et al [ 64 ] assessed their patients with the 1 min sit-to-stand (1 min STS) test [ 78 ]. The 1 min STS was proposed as an alternative to the 6MWT, and it represents a reliable tool to measure functional exercise capacity and peripheral muscle performance of the lower limbs in patients with respiratory diseases and airway impairments [ 11 , 79 , 80 ]. To perform the test, patients were asked to stand up and sit down on a chair for one minute without using the arms or other support.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic brought new challenges to global healthcare systems regarding the care of acute patients and the delivery of rehabilitation programs to post-acute or chronic patients. Patients who survive severe forms of COVID-19 often report incomplete healing and long-term symptoms. The need of these patients for rehabilitation has been recognized as a public health problem. In this context, the application of tele-rehabilitation has been explored to reduce the burden on healthcare systems. The purpose of this narrative review is to present an overview of the state of the art regarding the application of remote motor rehabilitation programs for paucisymptomatic acute and post-acute COVID-19 patients, with a focus on the motor aspects of tele-rehabilitation. Following an extensive search on PubMed, the Web of Science, and Scopus, specific studies have been reviewed and compared in terms of study objectives and participants, experimental protocols and methods for home-based interventions, functional assessment, and rehabilitation outcomes. Overall, this review suggests the feasibility and the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation as a promising tool to complement face-to-face rehabilitation interventions. However, further improvements are needed to overcome the limitations and the current lack of knowledge in the field.

“…Furthermore, a better performance may indicate a lower impact of the disease on symptoms and QoL. These features of the 1-min STST and its strong correlation with the distance walked in the 6MWT [ 21 , 33 ], suggest the potential for its use as a surrogate for the 6MWT and as a measure of HRQoL in patients with PH.…”

Introduction Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) have an impaired functional capacity and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The one-minute sit-to-stand test (1-min STST) can be used for the assessment of functional capacity. Aims Our aim was to evaluate the 1-min STST performance and its association with patient-reported HRQoL in patients with PH. Methods We prospectively assessed functional capacity in 98 PH patients (mean age 66 ± 15 years, 55% female) using the 1-min STST. Patients had to stand up and sit down from a chair as many times as possible within one minute. Patients’ HRQoL was evaluated with the Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome Review (CAMPHOR) questionnaire, which consists of the three subcategories symptoms, activities and quality of life (QoL). Results We observed a significant correlation of the 1-min STST performance with all HRQoL subcategories assessed with the CAMPHOR questionnaire: A lower number of 1-min STST repetitions correlated with more symptoms (rs = -.398, p < .001), worse functioning (rs = -.551, p < .001) and a decreased QoL (rs = -.407, p < .001). Furthermore, in the multivariable linear regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), lower 1-min STST performance was an independent predictor for worse symptoms (est. β = -0.112, p = .003), activities (est. β = -0.198, p < .001) and QoL (est. β = -0.130, p < .001) assessed with the CAMPHOR questionnaire. Conclusion Our results indicate that regardless of age, sex, BMI and mPAP the 1-min STST performance is associated with all CAMPHOR HRQoL subcategories in patients with PH. Therefore, the 1-min STST performance might be a new option to assess functional capacity correlated to HRQoL in patients with PH.

“…Sit-to-Stand (StS) test is a functional performance measure where time taken to stand from seated position is measured as well as number of repetitions in certain time period [17]. This test measures lower limb muscle strength [18]. In this study, we performed one-minute StS test.…”

Background and Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of six weeks of pulmonary rehabilitation on functional and psychological outcomes in long-COVID patients. Material and Methods: The prospective clinical study included 46 patients that were diagnosed with COVID-19. A respiratory rehabilitation program was implemented for six weeks. Further valuables were tested before the beginning of the rehabilitation program (admission) and six weeks after (discharge): SpO2, heart rate, respiratory rate, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Borg score, Sit-to-Stand (StS) test number of repetition, distance of 6-Minute Walking Test (6MWT), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) 9 score and Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) anxiety score. These parameters were tested before the rehabilitation program on admission and at discharge and after the rehabilitation program on admission and at discharge. The results were presented with standard descriptive and analytical methods. Differences between the continuous variables before and after physical rehabilitation intervention were tested using the Wilcoxon test. Graphical analysis is presented with a box plot. Results: On discharge, in comparison with admission, the values of SpO2 were significantly lower (p = 0.007) before the 6MWT, and VAS scores were significantly higher (p = 0.036), while after the 6MWT, VAS scores were significantly lower (p < 0.001) as were Borg scores (p = 0.016). On discharge, in comparison with admission, the respiratory rate was significantly higher (p = 0.005) before the StS test, and Borg scores were significantly lower (p = 0.001), while after the StS test, SpO2 levels were significantly higher (p = 0.036) and VAS scores were significantly lower (p < 0.001), as were Borg scores (p = 0.008). After discharge, the values of the StS test were significantly higher (p = 0.011), PHQ9 scores were significantly lower (p < 0.001) and GAD anxiety scores were significantly lower as well (p = 0.005), while the distances measured in meters on the 6MWT were significantly increased (p < 0.001). Conclusions: A structured rehabilitation program in our study was shown to have beneficial effects on physiological, psychological and functional improvements in patients with long-COVID, and therefore it is advisable for these patients.
