What is post-COVID-19 syndrome?
Post COVID-19 syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that persist beyond 12 weeks that are unable to be explained by another diagnosis. It can consist of generalized pain, fatigue, breathlessness, and reduced exercise tolerance. Longer term reduced exercise tolerance is common, especially for patients who were admitted to the hospital.
The science
COVID-19 is a multi-system disease that can cause long term impairments including but not limited to:
- Respiratory impairments such as breathlessness and chronic cough
- Cardiovascular impairments
- Neurological impairments including headaches, dizziness and peripheral neuropathy
- Psychological impairments such as depression and anxiety
- Generalized fatigue/pain
Weakness is common and does not only occur in those admitted to the hospital. Individuals may also experience weakness due to deconditioning or because of being in isolation. Both of these may result in decreased strength, which can be linked to falls and functional decline.
Physiotherapy for post-COVID-19 syndrome may include:
- Fatigue management
- Sleep hygiene
- Energy conservation techniques and pacing
- Graded exercise
- Improving exercise tolerance and capacity
- Strengthening
- Balance training
