Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the impact of coronavirus (2019-nCoV), hereafter COVID -19, on patients' loss of functional capacity after completion of hospital treatment. Specifically, the research will focus on examining changes in musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and respiratory function, as well as motor control. In addition, we aim to evaluate rehabilitation treatments after recovery from COVID -19 and consider additional preventive measures based on previous experience.
Detailed Description
The combination of such a severe respiratory disease as COVID -19 with motor inactivity could have very serious consequences for a person's general health even after COVID -19 symptoms have subsided. To date, the effects of COVID -19 on individual muscle status have not been extensively studied. Therefore, the main objective of this study will be to evaluate the muscle status of patients after COVID -19. In addition, we will be interested in longitudinal monitoring of individuals' rehabilitation, where they will receive instructions based on measured outcomes at hospital discharge. We will also be interested in considering additional preventive measures for future patients based on previous experience of infected and hospitalized COVID -19 patients.
