The objective of this research project is to scientifically evidence a pulmonary rehabilitation program that was initiated altruistically during the confinement of those patients who had suffered from COVID-19, through an online platform.
Patients are connected telematically 3 times a week from April 6, 2020 to perform the physical therapy program. Due to the clinical improvements that have been referred by patients, they began to take objective data.
Our goal is to know if a telematic respiratory therapy program in post-covid 19 patient, improves the level of anxiety, dyspnea on effort, improves quality of life and oxygenation.
Patients affected by COVID- 19 have long periods of convalescence at home. This fact, together with the measures of social isolation, has contributed to act from a new therapeutic paradigm with the implementation of telematic rehabilitation programs.
On April 6, 2020 the online platform was born under the name "Respiratory Physiotherapy; telematic assistance in patients with COVID-19 sequelae".
We want to quantify the Chest Physiotherapy online program.
Hypothesis; An online respiratory physiotherapy program offers improvements in quality of life, dyspnea and anxiety to patients who have suffered COVID-19.
Objectives; General objective; To improve the pulmonary function of patients who have suffered from COVID-19 infection through an online respiratory physiotherapy program.
Secondary objectives;
METHODOLOGY/STUDY DESIGN; This is a program that was born under a very special need and circumstance, as is the coronavirus pandemic. The aim was to use respiratory tele-rehabilitation through an online platform with patients affected by coronavirus.
The study is voluntary, the patient can stop the program at any time he or she considers appropriate. All of this is informed in the consent form that you give us, duly signed.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental groupe | Experimental | Intervention; 10 sessions telematics. Before starting and at the end of the respiratory physiotherapy program, the patient complete an online form which includes a quality of life questionnaire, an effort dyspnea questionnaire and an anxiety questionnaire. The intervention of the following study follow the recommendations of chest physiotherapy in the management of the patient post covid-19 (1)(17). Pre-session; respiratory frequency, dyspnea, oxigenation level are taken. Breathing techniques;
|
|
| control groupe | Other | The control group will complete the same questionnaires before and after the intervention, which will give us an idea of whether our intervention has had any improvement. In order for all patients to be able to receive the therapy if they want to. The control group will be on the waiting list to perform the sessions. |

| Chest physiotherapy post-covid19 | Other | The sessions are divided into the following modules;
Relaxation time;Jacobson's progressive relaxation; we scan the body's condition. Post-session evaluation by taking the respiratory frequency/ min and the Borg's dyspnea index, and level oxigen after the exercises. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Euroqol-5d european quality of life-5 dimensions | The EQ-5D is a generic Quality of Life measurement instrument. The individual himself evaluates his state of health, first in levels of severity by dimensions. The descriptive system contains five health dimensions (mobility, self-care, activities of daily living, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) and each one has three levels of severity (no problems, some moderate problems or problems and serious problems). In this part of the questionnaire, the individual must mark the level of severity corresponding to his or her state of health in each one of the dimensions, referring to the same day that he or she completes the questionnaire. In each dimension of the EQ-5D, the levels of severity are coded with a 1 if the answer option is "no (I have) problems"; with a 2 if the answer option is "some or moderate problems"; and with a 3 if the answer option is "many problems". | 1 week |
