A retrospective observation study. Background: Several studies have reported on rehabilitation for patients with COVID-19, with most studies using remote systems and focusing on patients with a severe condition. Few studies have examined rehabilitation for patients with mild or moderate conditions or considered patients’ backgrounds, including Activities of Daily Living (ADL), comorbidities, and destinations after discharge. The purpose of this study was to report an experience of rehabilitation for patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 without a remote system. Methods: Seventeen patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 were investigated in this study (eight women and nine men). Patients’ average age at the time of admission was 65.9 years. Face-to-face rehabilitation was performed with patients who had low or decreased ability in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). We evaluated the number and rate of patients that received face- to-face rehabilitation and used the Barthel Index (BI) to evaluate patients’ Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The number and types of patients’ comorbidities and their destinations after discharge from hospital were also investigated. Results: Five patients (29.4%) received face-to-face rehabilitation. Patients’ average BI score improved from 74.4 at admission to 84.4 at discharge. The average number of comorbidities was 2.5 per patient. These comorbidities included various diseases that negatively influenced immunity, walking ability, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Ten patients (58.8%) returned to their homes or a rest home after discharge. Conclusion: Patients with COVID-19 are at high risk for decreased Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Face-to-face rehabilitation may be performed with more patients if there is appropriate protection against infection. Overall, face-to-face rehabilitation for patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 was meaningful considering the various backgrounds of patients including comorbidities. The practitioner (a rehabilitation doctor) performing face-to-face rehabilitation did not experience serious problems with their health."> <meta name="citation_fulltext_html_url"

</strong>Experience of rehabilitation for patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 without remote systems. A retrospective observation study.</p> <p><strong>Background: </strong>Several studies have reported on rehabilitation for patients with COVID-19, with most studies using remote systems and focusing on patients with a severe condition. Few studies have examined rehabilitation for patients with mild or moderate conditions or considered patients’ backgrounds, including Activities of Daily Living (ADL), comorbidities, and destinations after discharge. The purpose of this study was to report an experience of rehabilitation for patients with mild and moderate COVID-19 without a remote system.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Seventeen patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 were investigated in this study (eight women and nine men). Patients’ average age at the time of admission was 65.9 years. Face-to-face rehabilitation was performed with patients who had low or decreased ability in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). We evaluated the number and rate of patients that received face- to-face rehabilitation and used the Barthel Index (BI) to evaluate patients’ Activities of Daily Living (ADL). The number and types of patients’ comorbidities and their destinations after discharge from hospital were also investigated.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Five patients (29.4%) received face-to-face rehabilitation. Patients’ average BI score improved from 74.4 at admission to 84.4 at discharge. The average number of comorbidities was 2.5 per patient. These comorbidities included various diseases that negatively influenced immunity, walking ability, and Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Ten patients (58.8%) returned to their homes or a rest home after discharge.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patients with COVID-19 are at high risk for decreased Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Face-to-face rehabilitation may be performed with more patients if there is appropriate protection against infection. Overall, face-to-face rehabilitation for patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 was meaningful considering the various backgrounds of patients including comorbidities. The practitioner (a rehabilitation doctor) performing face-to-face rehabilitation did not experience serious problems with their health.</p> </p> <p class="mb-1 font-size-3 text-muted"> <b>Published Date: </b> 2021-12-21; <b>Received Date: </b>2021-11-30</p> <nav class="nav a-pl-0"> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/open-access/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems-88443.html" title="Click here" class="nav-link text-danger"><img src="/assets/img/html.svg" alt="html" height="26"></a> <a href="https://www.longdom.org/open-access/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems.pdf" title="Click here" class="nav-link text-success"><img src="/assets/img/PDF_32.png" alt="pdf" height="26"></a> </nav> <div class="nav social-icons"> <a class="nav-link w-auto">Share this article</a> <a title="Click here" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.longdom.org/abstract/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems-88443.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Click here" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?url=https://www.longdom.org/abstract/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems-88443.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-twitter"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Click here" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.longdom.org/abstract/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems-88443.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></i></a> <a class="nav-link" title="Click here" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.longdom.org/abstract/experience-of-rehabilitation-for-patients-with-mild-and-moderate-covid19-without-remote-systems-88443.html" rel="noopener"><i class="fab fa-google-plus-g"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <footer class="bg-blue-grey-900 py-3"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Content Links</h4> <ul class="list-unstyled footer-links font-size-3"> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/online-tools.html" title="Click here">Tools</a> </li> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/feedback.html" title="Click here">Feedback</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/careers.html" title="Click here">Careers</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/privacy-policy.html" title="Click here">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/terms-conditions.html" title="Click here">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li><a class="" href="https://www.longdom.org/authors-reviewers-editors.html" title="Click here">Authors, Reviewers & Editors</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Contact Longdom</h4> <p>Longdom Group SA<br> Avenue Roger Vandendriessche,<br> 18, 1150 Brussels, Belgium<br> Phone: +442038085340 <br><strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:info@longdom.org" class="white" title="Click here">info@longdom.org</a></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-4"> <h4 class="white font-size-4 fweight-400 border-bottom-1 pb-2">Connect</h4> <nav class="nav nav-pills social-icons-footer flex-column a-pl-0"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/longdompublisher" title="Click here" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-facebook-hover"><i class="fab fa-facebook-f bg-facebook"></i> Facebook</a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/longdom-publishing-sl/" title="Click here" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-linkedin-hover"><i class="fab fa-linkedin-in bg-linkedin"></i> Linkedin</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LongdomP" title="Click here" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-twitter-hover"><i class="fab fa-twitter bg-twitter"></i> Twitter</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/longdom_publisher/" title="Click here" target="_blank" class="nav-link bg-instagram-hover"><i class="fab fa-instagram bg-instagram"></i> Instagram</a> </nav> </div> </div> <div class="row text-center"> <div class="col"> <p>Copyright © 2024 <a href="https://www.longdom.org/" title="Click here" class="white">Longdom Publishing</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> </footer>  <a href="#0" class="cd-top js-cd-top">Top</a>   <script defer src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script> <script defer src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script defer src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>  <script> jQuery(function($) { $(window).scroll(function fix_element() { $('#target').css( $(window).scrollTop() > 100 ?
