Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Problems such as breathlessness, exercise intolerance and loss of peripheral muscle strength can be observed in individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID19 and have been discharged. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation physical therapy intervention to these cases by using videoconferencing method on the physical condition of the cases.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Problems such as breathlessness, exercise intolerance and loss of peripheral muscle strength can be observed in individuals who have been diagnosed with COVID19 and have been discharged. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation physical therapy intervention to these cases by using videoconferencing method on the physical condition of the cases. The exercise program will be a total of 6 weeks, 3 days a week. Online access will be carried out synchronously by telephone or computer, and training sessions will not be recorded in order to protect patient personal information. The cases will be evaluated online at the beginning of the study and at the end of the 6-week exercise program. The selected evaluation parameters have been selected considering the ease of online application.
