“…Also, Madrid-Mejía et al determined improvements in PFTs at the sixth month of infection compared to the results of the same participants at the third month after infection. 68 The variations in the time of evaluation in different studies may explain the differences in the results. 15,40,69 In our study, despite the result of the exercise capacities (6MWT distance) show significant reductions in the COVID-19 group after 3 months, from recovery on comparison with the matched control, there are non-significant increases at both pre and post 6 months.…”

Background COVID-19 has serious consequences on different body systems particularly the respiratory system with its impact on pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and physical activities. This study aimed to investigate the long-term effect of COVID-19 on pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and physical activities in patients with non-severe COVID-19. Methods 160 individuals were selected to participate in a cross-section study. Group-I: 80 male and female patients with non-severe COVID-19 at least 3 months after the recovery time. Group-II: 80 male and female matched (non-infected with COVID-19) participants. The spirometer, six-minute walk test (6MWT), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were used to assess pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and physical activities respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test normality of data. The Mann–Whitney and independent t-tests were used to compare the significant differences between both groups. Results The results show significant differences in FVC & FEV1 of the pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and physical activities of the work & transportations between both COVID-19 and matched groups p-value = (0.001 & 0.001, 0.001 and 0.005 & 0.012) respectively. Conclusion Pulmonary function, exercise capacities, and physical activities are negatively influenced by COVID-19 as long-term consequences indicating the need for extended health care, and prescription of proper rehabilitative training programs for non- severe COVID-19 patients whatever their severity degree of infection or history of hospitalization. Outcome reflections of the current results raise awareness of physical therapists to the importance of the proper rehabilitative training programs for non-severe COVID-19 patients.

“…La debilidad es prevalente entre los pacientes moderados-severos que han estado ingresados en UCI y/o planta hospitalaria, con el posterior desacondicionamiento físico 26 . Esta puede presentarse en la musculatura periférica y, de manera menos frecuente, en la musculatura respiratoria 48 . Si bien el gold standard para la evaluación de la fuerza de la musculatura periférica es un equipo isocinético 49 , debido a su elevado coste y escasa disponibilidad, se propone la medición de la fuerza de agarre mediante dinamómetro de mano o handgrip como una alternativa factible y estandarizada 49 y, tomando como referencia los puntos de corte recientemente descritos para identificar la sarcopenia 50 .…”

La pandemia causada por la enfermedad de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un gran reto para los profesionales del sistema sociosanitario, intensificándose con el manejo y atención de las manifestaciones clínicas que potencialmente pueden presentarse de manera persistente en las personas que han superado la enfermedad. Para ello, la fisioterapia respiratoria se presenta como piedra angular dentro del modelo de abordaje interdisciplinar que requiere esta población. Dado que la implementación de esta opción terapéutica continúa siendo limitada en España, es imprescindible realizar una evaluación integral y exhaustiva de la persona que nos permita establecer criterios de selección a fin de optimizar el uso de los recursos humanos y materiales existentes. Para ello, se propone un algoritmo de decisión terapéutica basado en pruebas de evaluación validadas y objetivas de las posibles manifestaciones clínicas del paciente. La aplicación de este algoritmo, en cualquier nivel asistencial (atención especializada y atención primaria/comunitaria) junto con la atención centrada en la persona, el impulso del uso de los espacios comunitarios verdes y azules de las ciudades y un adecuado uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación y la información, nos permitirá optimizar el modelo de atención de fisioterapia respiratoria en el contexto actual, marcado por la COVID-19.

Introduction:To date, 501 million people have been infected with SARS-CoV-2 and the incidence of COVID-19 is still increasing as new variants develop. Beyond the well-known short-term consequences of morbimortality of the COVID-19 disease, multiple long-term sequelae have been identified, which are referred to as Post COVID Syndrome (PCS). Dyspnea beyond three weeks from infection is the most common long-term symptom, and physical therapy is the standard care for those patients. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) has been previously used to improve muscle weakness in different pulmonary diseases with promising results. Therefore, given the expected burden of disease, additional tools that seek to optimize patient care, which are easy to use and costeffective, are a promising approach to PCS recovery. Objective: To compare the efficacy of NMES plus physical therapy against sham procedure and physical therapy in improving dyspnea among patients who developed PCS.Methods: This trial will be a multicentric randomized sham-controlled, double-blinded parallel phase 2 superiority trial. Patients admitted to the hospital with moderate to severe COVID-19, who develop PCS, will be allocated to intervention and sham groups in a 1:1 ratio. They will be assessed for dyspnea through the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) for three months.
