Study Overview
Brief Summary
As an important non-drug intervention in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases, respiratory rehabilitation training is increasingly accepted in clinical practice. The purpose of pulmonary rehabilitation is not only to improve the physical and mental conditions of the patient, but also to help the patient return to the family and society more quickly.
In light of the widely documented lung injuries associated with COVID-19, concerns are raised regarding the assessment of lung injury in discharged patients. As an important non-drug intervention in the treatment of respiratory diseases, respiratory rehabilitation training is increasingly being accepted in clinical practice The purpose of pulmonary rehabilitation is not only to improve the physical and mental conditions of the patient, but also to help the patient return to the family and society more quickly.
The aim of the study; It is aimed to evaluate the efficiency of breathing exercise in individuals with COVID-19.
