Abstract

Abstract Respiratory rehabilitation leads to reduction of symptoms, strengthens extremity musculature and improves emotional state and management of daily activities in patients with respiratory diseases. Aim of our study was to determine quality of life and functionality of COVID 19 patients before and after respiratory rehabilitation program. The study was conducted at the Clinical Center, Kragujevac, from June to July 2020. The study was a prospective clinical trial and included 62 patients with the acutephase of COVID-19. Respiratory rehabilitation program started at hospital and continued at home for three months overall. Quality of life was measured by the EQ-5D-5L and patient’s functionality by The FIM score. All five dimension of EQ-5D-5L were higher after respiratory rehabilitation program as well as EQ-5D index score and VAS score (0.8516±0.202 and 53.31±17.129 before rehabilitation, 0.9147±0.074 and 64.53±8.368 after rehabilitation). Respiratory exercise showed significantly improvement in FIM total score from 104.48±12.880 to 106.21±9.791, as well as in FIM motor and cognitive subscores. Respiratory rehabilitation program improves quality of life and functionality of COVID 19 patients.
