简要总结
the aim of this study will be to investigate the effect of aerobic exercises vs incentive spirometer device on post-covid patients with residual lung diseases.
详细描述
To our knowledge, there have been no enough studies that investigated the effect of aerobic exercise and incentive spirometer in pulmonary rehabilitation on post-covid syndrome patients.
Therefore, this study may open up ways to other researchers to investigate and build up on this effect if present and address such an important issue.
The finding of this proposed work may help patients with post-covid syndrome and complain of lung diseases by addressing their complains of symptoms like chest pain, dyspnea, and cough and provide a possible solution to enhance their quality of life and increase their participation in daily life activities.
Patients of post-covid syndrome with residual lung problems will be recruited after approval of ethical committee of the faculty of physical therapy, Cairo university. All participants will sign a written informed consent form.
The subjects will be randomly assigned into one of three groups:

研究组 & 干预措施
Group I (experimental) Aerobic Exercises and Traditional Chest Physiotherapy.
It was consisted of fifteen patients with positive covid-19 test from at least a month before trial. They received aerobic exercise techniques which consist of 3 levels of activity exercises and traditional program of chest physiotherapy. (Five times per week for two months).
干预措施: Aerobic Exercises (Other)

结局指标
主要结局
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
时间窗: Before and After the treatment program. "8 weeks"
to measure the lungs' capacities and volumes like: FVC, FEV1, and PEF.
Heart rate measurements. (HR).
时间窗: through all the treatment procedures. "8 weeks"
it measures the number of heart bumps in a minute in order to deliver blood to all of the body during Rest and Activity.
Peripheral oxygen saturation level (SpO2).
时间窗: Before and After the treatment program. "8 weeks"
measures the amount of oxygen carried in the blood stream in peripheral limbs.
Six minutes' walk distance test (6MWD).
时间窗: Before and After the treatment program. "8 weeks"
measures the aerobic capacity of the lungs by testing the maximum distance the subject can walk in a 6 minutes time.
