Clinical Trial Summary

The evolution of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic makes it more necessary the intervention of Primary Health Care Physiotherapy Units in patients with respiratory and/or functional sequelae after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 (acute respiratory sindrome by coronavirus) virus infection. Since some months ago, Primary Health Care use telerehabilitation tools to connect patients and health care professions while maintaining social distancing and restrictions. Tele-physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy which has the advantage of providing physical therapy interventions to patients' complications after COVID-19 by using a videoconferencing method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Physical Therapy telerehabilitation program in persistent post COVID-19 symptoms in Primary Health Care.


Description:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a multisystem infectious disease which has led to a global pandemic. The evolution of COVID-19 disease makes it more necessary the intervention of Primary Health Care Physiotherapy Units in patients with respiratory and /or functional sequelae after suffering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Problems such as breathlessness, exercise intolerance and loss of peripheral muscle strength can be observed in individuals who have been diagnosed with persistent post COVID-19. Since some months ago, Primary Health Care use telerehabilitation tools to connect patients and health care professions while maintaining social distancing and restrictions. Tele-physiotherapy is a field of physiotherapy which has the advantage of providing physical therapy interventions to patients' complications after COVID-19 by using a videoconferencing method. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal Physical Therapy telerehabilitation program in persistent post COVID-19 symptoms in Primary Health Care.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Modified Borg scale. Modified Borg scale, or scale of perceived exertion, is a subjective scale to measure the intensity of a physical effort, quantifying the respiratory distress. The modified Borg Scale is averaged from 0 to 10. Perceived effort will be measured as 0-2 (light effort), 3-4 (moderate effort), 5-6 (hard effort), 7-9 (very hard effort) and 10 (maximum effort). Baseline.

Secondary Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Score. Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Score (mMRC). The mMRC Dyspnea Score is used to establish baseline functional impairment due to dyspnea.The severity of dyspnea is rated on a scale of 0 to 4. "O" means no dyspnea perception, "4" means severe dyspnea perception.
Grade 0: absence of dyspnea when performing intense exercise. Grade 1: dyspnea when walking quickly on the flat or climbing. Grade 2: dyspnea does not allow walking with another person of the same age or the person has to stop to rest.
Grade 3: dyspnea makes the patient stops to rest when walking for 100m or a few minutes after walking on the flat.
Grade 4: dyspnea prevents the patient from leaving home or appears in activities of daily living.

Secondary 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). 6MWT is a test that measures the distance walked by each patient for 6 minutes, 30 meters on a flat and hard surface. The 6MWT assesses the level of submaximal functional capacity. The patient has to walk as far as possible for 6 minutes.
Performance is classified into 4 categories:
Category A: less than 350 meters; poor performance. Category B: between 350 and 450 meters; moderate performance. Category C: between 450 and 650 meters; good performance. Category D: more than 650 meters; excellent performance.
