This group underwent physiotherapy consisting of mobilization, normal range of motion, and a respiratory exercise program.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

muscle strength
Using a scale developed by the Medical Research Council (MRC), muscle strength was measured. Using this instrument, the muscles of the lower and upper extremities are evaluated bilaterally. Each of the six main muscle groups evaluated receives a score between 0 (no contraction) and 5 (normal contraction).

Secondary Outcome Measures

mobility assessment
For the purpose of measuring mobility, the Rivermead Mobility Index (RMI) was applied.
Exercise capacity
Exercise capacity was evaluated with the 5-repetition sit to stand test (5STS).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The prospective study was conducted at a single location within the COVID-19 department of a city hospital. The study included COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized in the COVID-19 service and consulted for physiotherapy, were between the ages of 18 and 65, and had the capacity and inclination to participate in one daily physiotherapy session five days per week.
Detailed Description
A hospital's COVID-19 service recruited 32 participants for the study. Patients were divided into two groups: COVID-19 (n=16; age = 53.81 9.48) and mutation (n=16; age = 55.25 10.12). Both groups underwent physiotherapy consisting of mobilization, normal range of motion, and a respiratory exercise program (COVID-19 group: 9.945.85 days; mutation group: 7.632.83 days). Every patient participated in a once-daily physiotherapy program. The patients' muscle strength, mobility, daily activities, exercise capacity, and perception of fatigue were assessed. To compare groups, the mixed repeated measures ANOVA model was used.
