Brief Summary

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

Investigators aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise programs given by synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation methods in patients after discharge from COVID-19.

Detailed Description

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

Fifty seven participants will be enrolled. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups.

For this purpose, patients will be recruited at the time of discharge from the hospital and two experimental groups with the same physical therapy and educational program will be carried out. participants in the control group will only educational program. Participants in experimental groups will be followed using videoconference interviews from synchronous telerehabilitation methods and mobile application from asynchronous telerehabilitation methods at home. These participants will be given an 8-week exercise program. The exercise program will consist of physical exercises (aerobic and strength exercises) along with breathing exercises and the patients will be evaluated before and after the treatment.

After treatment programs, the functional capacity, performance, and hemodynamic parameters of the participants will be evaluated. Quality of life, physical activity level, anxiety-depression, and fatigue severity will also be evaluated with questionnaires.

Study Groups

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

Synchronous telerehabilitation program (Video conference)

Participants will exercise program at home for an average of 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, under the supervision of a physiotherapist via synchronized video conference. The program will continue for 8 weeks. The exercise program will consist of physical exercises (aerobic and strength exercises) along with breathing exercises and an educational program. Physical exercises will be adjusted in 3 different difficulty levels: sitting, standing with or without support.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Exercise program and educational program

Asynchronous telerehabilitation programme (Mobil app.)

The same exercises as in the synchronous telerehabilitation program will be done at the same frequency. Participants will watch the videos sent by the investigator via the mobile application and then do the exercises at home. The participants will meet with the investigator once a week to an update exercise program.
