“…The 6MWT is a straightforward exercise evaluation that measures the distance an individual can walk on a flat, hard surface within a six-minute period to gauge aerobic capacity and endurance. Previous research has established the validity and reproducibility of the 6MWT, showing a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.638 and an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) of 97% (15).…”

Background: Given the heightened impact of post-COVID-19, active involvement in the rehabilitation process, particularly in respiratory rehabilitation, is essential for these patients. This study addresses the urgent need for developing and evaluating remote respiratory rehabilitation methods post-COVID-19, focusing on enhancing patients' quality of life and pulmonary function. Objectives: The study aimed to investigate how respiratory telerehabilitation influences pulmonary function and the quality of life in this patient population. Methods: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 COVID-19 patients from two major hospitals in Mashhad were evaluated during 2021 - 2023. The control group received a training booklet and an incentive spirometer, while the intervention group participated in a telerehabilitation program. This program involved four-week daily respiratory rehabilitation exercises conducted online using the Skyroom platform. At the end of each session, the patient's fatigue and shortness of breath were assessed using the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale and the number of physical exercises completed. All patients completed the Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaire and undertook the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation (SPO2), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), fatigue, and shortness of breath were measured on the day of discharge and two and four weeks post-discharge. Covariance (ANCOVA) and repeated measures analysis of variance (RMANOVA) were analyzed for data analysis. Results: In both baseline-adjusted and fully-adjusted ANCOVA models, the results indicated a significant intervention effect after 4 weeks for MIP (73.43 ± 5.77), SPO2 (96.90 ± 1.21), Borg scale score (9.77 ± 1.59), and MWT6 (455.90 ± 37.70), (all P < 0.0001), with significantly higher changes observed in MIP, SPO2, Borg Scale score, and MWT6 after 2 weeks as well as after 4 weeks in the intervention group than the control groups. Also, in both models, the results indicated a significant intervention effect after 2 weeks as well as 4 weeks for physical functioning, role physical, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, Physical Health Scale score, and total SF36 score (60.37 ± 6.93) (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Using bidirectional audio and video communication in the telerehabilitation of COVID-19 patients significantly improved their pulmonary function and QOL. Based on these findings, it is recommended that this method be considered as an integral component in rehabilitation programs for COVID-19 patients.

Background and Objective: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis is one of the complex and common deformities of the spine. It is a condition that can cause a lot of pain and discomfort for individuals and has consequences and complications. There are different exercises and approaches for correction of this deformity, such as Schroth exercise. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of corrective exercises on Cobb angle, flexibility, functional capacity, and quality of life of adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. Materials and Methods: This controlled clinical trial with pre-test and posttest design was performed on 24 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis who were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. Cobb angle, flexibility, and functional capacity were measured by X-ray imaging, flexibility box, and six-minute walk test, respectively. The collected data were statistically analyzed in SPSS software (version 23) using a mixeddesign analysis of variance with repeated measures. It must be noted that a p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Based on the results, after 10 weeks of Schroth exercises, there was a significant difference in the exercise group regarding the reduction of Cobb angle as well as the increase of flexibility and functional capacity. However, no significant difference was observed in the control group from pre-test to post-test (P≤0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, it can be concluded that the Schroth exercise program that involves the whole motor chain can effectively decrease the lateral curvature angle of patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Therefore, this type of exercise can be useful to use to treat people with Idiopathic scoliosis deformity.
