简要总结
The COVID-19 can cause important sequels in the respiratory system by bilateral pneumonia and frequently presents loss of strength, dyspnea, polyneuropathies and multi-organic affectation. Long COVID-19 has been defined as the condition occurring in individuals with a history of probable or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, with related symptoms lasting at least 2 months and not explainable by an alternative diagnosis. The practice of digital physiotherapy presents itself as a promising complementary treatment method to standard physiotherapy, playing a key role in the recovery of function in subjects who have passed the disease and who maintain some symptomatology over time. The aims of this research are to explore the effect of a digital physiotherapy intervention on functional recovery in patients diagnosed with Long COVID-19 and to identify the level of adherence to the treatment carried out. Physiotherapy interventions acquires a fundamental role in the recovery of the functions and the quality of life. As secondary objectives, the aim is to identify the satisfaction and perception of patients with the intervention and the presence of barriers to its implementation (throught a qualitative research), as well as to evaluate the cost-effectiveness from the perspective of the health system. A quasi-experimental pre-post study assessed initially and at the end of the 4-week intervention the functional capacity (1-min STS and SPPB) and the adherence (software). The hypothesis of this research is that the implementation of a TR program presents positive results. If hypothesis is confirmed, that would be an opportunity to define new policies and interventions to address this disease and its consequences.
详细描述
The authors hypothesised that the implementation of a digital physiotherapy intervention in Long COVID-19 participants is effective to improve the functional capacity and adherence and have positive results in patients satisfaction.

主要结局
The Short Form Health Survey SF-12
时间窗: Baseline (T0)
Quality of Live. For each of the 8 dimensions, the items are coded, aggregated and transformed into a scale ranging from 0 (the worst health status for that dimension) to 0 (the worst health status for that dimension). a scale ranging from 0 (the worst health status for that dimension) to 100 (the best health status). 100 (the best health status)
Functional Capacity
时间窗: 4 weeks (T1)
sit-to-stand test in 1 minute

European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions EQ-5D
时间窗: 4 weeks (T1)
Quality of Live The responses to the five EQ-5D dimensions (i.e. an EQ-5D health state or profile) can be converted into a single number called an index value. The index value reflects how good or bad the health state is according to the preferences of the general population of a country/region. The collection of index values for all possible EQ-5D states is called a value set. Value sets are currently available for the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L for different countries/regions. Several valuation techniques have been used to generate these value sets: time trade-off (TTO), visual analogue scale (VAS), and more recently, discrete choice experiments (DCE).
