French Cohort of covid19 Patients With Post-intensive Care Syndrome : Rehabilitation From Intensive Care Unit to Home Return - Spatio-temporal Analysis of Walking Compared to Asymptomatic Participants

The purpose of this study is to describe post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) of patients surviving to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) and their rehabilitation and recovery process from hospital to home return
