Effects of physical rehabilitation on exercise tolerance in post-COVID patients: results of an open controlled trial

The issue of physical rehabilitation post-COVID patients stays relevant up to this day. Most publications discuss inpatient and only few describe outpatient such patients. aim . Our study was performed investigate efficacy with lung injury. Methods This a prospective non-randomized open controlled study. All COVID-19-associated injury were referred supervised program. We analyzed 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) results, evaluation dyspnea using Borg scale assessment oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) pulse oxymeter before after walking.
