Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility (safety, adherence) and initial efficacy (physical function and patient reported outcomes) of a multicomponent tele-rehabilitation program during COVID-19 recovery of patients who have been hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility and initial efficacy of a multicomponent tele-rehabilitation program during COVID-19 recovery. The tele-rehabilitation program will include biobehavioral training and high intensity exercise facilitated through an online application ('Platform'). Initial efficacy will be assessed primarily by performance on the 30" Chair Stand Test and secondarily through other physical function tests and patient reported outcome measures.

This study will advance the feasibility of tele-rehabilitation as a more generally useful intervention in patients lacking access (distance, availability, mobility) to standard rehabilitative services and could transform the way in which acute rehabilitation and post-hospital care is delivered for all patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

This group will receive 12 biobehaviorally informed tele-rehabilitation sessions including high-intensity strengthening; sessions will be delivered by a licensed physical therapist. An application ('Platform') will facilitate home exercise program completion outside of the supervised sessions.

Other: remote controlled exercise plus home exercise

Treatments: strengthening, balance, functional activities, stretching, breathing, aerobic endurance exercise

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Biobehavioral Tele-rehabilitation Sessions

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Biobehavioral tele-rehabilitation sessions

Control

This group will receive an activity monitor and basic education, but no individualized rehabilitation sessions or biobehavioral training.

Other: basic education

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Confirmed COVID-19, per diagnostic criteria (PCR testing)
2. Hospitalized for at least 24 hours
3. Able to provide informed consent
4. Internet capability to access the platform
5. Community-dwelling prior to hospitalization

Exclusion Criteria

1. Unstable medical comorbidities that would preclude participation in exercise
2. Receipt of \>1 session of outpatient physical therapy
3. Known pregnancy, as the impact on physical function, pulmonary function, and other outcomes will vary well beyond any expected effects of COVID-19
4. Anticipating concurrent additional physical therapy services during study intervention period (12 weeks)
