May 26, 2022 updated by: Habibe Serap Inal, Istinye University

The Effects of Video-based Yoga Interventions on Musculoskeletal Pain and Quality of Life of Patients' Post-corona Virus Disease: a Semi-randomized Controlled Prospective Study

Aimed to understand if yoga exercises are superior to posture exercises as an alternative exercise therapy for relieving musculoskeletal pain, improving functional status, and improving quality of life during the post- corona virus disease (COVID-19) period?

Detailed Description

Eighty five of 200 post- COVID-19 patients, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria obtained from the records of the State Hospital. The participants were divided into video-based (VB) yoga (n=40), home-based (HB) posture exercise (n=28), and control (n=17) groups. The socio-demographic characteristics, pain status, walking and balance, and quality of life were evaluated twice, once before and eight weeks after the exercises.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain Assessment by McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline
Assessment of pain by McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire: The localization (deep-D; superficial-S) of the pain was determined by a question in the first section of the questionnaire. Subsequently, the features (20 words and 2-6 sub words of each) and severity (mild to unbearable pain, Likert scale-5) of the pain were determined by questions in the second and third section of the questionnaire. In the fourth section, the relationship between pain, time, frequency, and the affecting factors was determined. Scores (total 0-112) obtained from the sections of the survey were collected. The pain level of the patients indicated that the higher the pain, the higher the score.
Baseline
Balance and gait assessment
Time Frame: At the beginning of the interventions
Balance and Gait Assessment: The total scores for balance and walking were 0-29 and 0-9, respectively. These scores aimed to reflect the fear of falling. There was no specific cutoff score. As the score increased, the fear of falling decreased.
At the beginning of the interventions
Quality of life assessment by WHOQOL-BREF
Time Frame: Baseline
The WHOQOL-short form consists of 26 questions and measures the physical, mental, social, and environmental well-being of the adult population. The Turkish version has 27 questions. The 27th is termed the Environment-Turkish. Each area refers to the quality of life in a respective field independently. The area scores are calculated between 1 and 100 by The World Health Organization Quality of Life-short form: The higher the score, the higher the quality of life.
Baseline
Muscle Power assessment by handheld dynamometer (MicroFet 2; kgm, Hoggan Scientific, Salt Lake City, UT, USA)
Time Frame: Baseline
The participants performed maximal isometric voluntary contractions (for lower extremity: M. quadriceps femoris, hamstring group muscles, M. tibialis anterior, M. gastrocnemius, and M. soleus; for upper extremity: M. triceps brachii, M. biceps brachii, and M. deltoideus: anterior, middle, and posterior heads) forcefully against the dynamometer. The dynamometer was held stationary by the physical therapist.
Baseline
Pain Assessmentby McGill-Melzack Pain Questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline
Assessment of pain by McGill-Melzack Pain Questinnaire: The localization (deep-D; superficial-S) of the pain was determined by a question in the first section of the questionnaire. Subsequently, the features (20 words and 2-6 sub words of each) and severity (mild to unbearable pain, Likert scale-5) of the pain were determined by questions in the second and third section of the questionnaire. In the fourth section, the relationship between pain, time, frequency, and the affecting factors was determined. Scores (total 0-112) obtained from the sections of the survey were collected. The pain level of the patients indicated that the higher the pain, the higher the score.
Baseline
Balance and gait assessment by TBGA
Time Frame: Balance
Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment: The total scores for balance and walking were 0-29 and 0-9, respectively. These scores aimed to reflect the fear of falling. There was no specific cutoff score. As the score increased, the fear of falling decreased.
