Health resort medicine can be a suitable setting to recover disabilities in patients tested negative for COVID-19 discharged from hospital? A challenge for the future

COVID‐19 related fatigue: Which role for rehabilitation in post‐COVID‐19 patients? A case series

“…6,7 Indeed, to the best of our knowledge, at the moment of this writing (November 7th, 2020), no studies were performed to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation on reducing fatigue in post-COVID-19 patients, although new therapeutic strategies have been testes for COVID-19 free patients with musculoskeletal disability. 8,9 Therefore, we sought to characterize the COVID-19 late consequences and to investigate the role of rehabilitation in reducing COVID-19 related fatigue and improving functional outcome in a case series of post-COVID-19 inpatients.…”

Public interest in spa therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic: analysis of Google Trends data among Turkey

“…Although spa therapy has yet no evidence specific to COVID-19, it and its interventions (e.g., balneotherapy, peloid therapy, aquatic exercises, and exercise) have been demonstrated beneficial in improving fatigue, dyspnea, pain, and depression/ anxiety, and in increasing quality of life of patients who have these symptoms, in many reviews and numerous clinical studies (Kamioka et al 2020 ; Khaltaev et al 2020 ; Munteanu et al 2019 ; Baldi et al 2015 ; Fioravanti et al 2010 , 2018 ; Rapolienė et al 2020 ; Király et al 2020 ; Gay et al 2020 ; Bernetti et al 2020 ; Varzaityte et al 2020 ; Dilekçi et al 2019 , 2020 ; Eröksüz et al 2020 ; Yuan et al 2019 ; Cozzi et al 2020 ; Gálvez et al 2020 ; Corvillo et al 2020 ; Pérez-Fernández et al 2019 ; Peultier-Celli et al 2019 ; Hanzel et al 2019 ; Yücesoy et al 2019 ; Özkuk and Di̇lekçi̇ 2019 ; Masiero et al 2020c ; Tenti et al 2020 ; Koçak et al 2020 ; Özkuk and Uysal 2019 ; Cantista and Maraver 2020 ; Cheleschi et al 2020 ; Özkuk and Ateş 2020 ; Min et al 2020 ; Prossegger et al 2019 ; Persiyanova-Dubrova et al 2019 ). Interestingly, hypothetical and theoretical backgrounds of using spas as rehabilitation facilities for post-COVID-19 patients have been discussed in several articles (Maccarone et al 2020 ; Masiero et al 2020a , b; Antonelli and Donelli 2020 ; Kardeş 2020b ). Masiero et al ( 2020a ) and Kardeş et al ( 2020b ) provided clinical background and approach for spa therapy for post-COVID-19 patients.…”

“…In Turkey, spa therapy programs include balneotherapy, peloid therapy, aquatic exercises, physical therapy modalities, and exercise (Kardeş et al 2019 ; Kardeş 2020a ). Turkish spas might be used to increase places providing the rehabilitation of long-term COVID-19 patients, and non-COVID-19 patients, along with the hospital rehabilitation units, which are currently overwhelmed with acute rehabilitation of COVID-19 (Maccarone et al 2020 ; Masiero et al 2020a , b; Antonelli and Donelli 2020 ; Kardeş 2020b ).…”

To contrast and reverse skeletal muscle weakness by Full-Body In-Bed Gym in chronic COVID-19 pandemic syndrome

“…Furthermore to speedup positive changes, the trainings could be performed twice a day to improve fatigue resistance and cardio-respiratory reserve. 28,29 Wearable devices are an emerging and cost-effective technology that allows to monitor several biometric data, 30 and have been tested in many diseases. 31 It might be interesting to add one of these devices (e.g.…”
