Abstract

About half of post-COVID-19 patients had severe impairments in physical functioning and during activities of daily living at discharge home, providing a clear rationale to study the safety and efficacy of rehabilitative interventions in these patients https://bit.ly/3hJvXJa

Proportions of patients with abnormal physical functioning and/or abnormal performance of activities of daily living: patients (at entry in Veruno and at discharge home) with an abnormally low number of 1-min chair stands in the 1-min sit-to-stand (STS) test (below percentile 2.5 of the reference values [9]), with a summary score on the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) of 0–6 points (low performance), or with a poor score (≤60 points) on the Barthel index.
