Abstract

Background and aim: A variety of persistent symptoms have been observed, in recovered patients from Covid-19. most important of which are fatigue, movement disorders, musculoskeletal problems, and decreased quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Selected respiratory and core stability teleexercises on Postural Control, Fatigue and Quality of Life in Survivors discharged from covid-19.

Materials and Methods: Thirty discharged patients participated in this study voluntarily and were randomly divided into two groups of 15 patients, eventually decreased to 27 patients in two exercise groups (13 patients) and control (14 people) completed this study. The exercise group performed respiratory and core stability training for 8 weeks in the form of teleexercise. Before and after the exercise program, both groups were assessed. Mix Repeated Measures ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U and the Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS27 software was used to compare the mean of information of the groups at a significant level p<0.05.

Results: The results of data analysis showed that in medial/lateral Sway of center of pressure (P=0.047), fatigue (P<0.001), total quality of life index (P<0.001), physical health (P<0.001), and mental health component (P<0.001), as well as pain (P<0.001), physical function (P=0.001) and limitations due to physical function (P=0.007) Significant differences between the two groups were observed before and after the intervention.
