About

Length of hospitalization for COVID-19 infection may be increased due to the persistence of fatigue in 29-46% of cases. Its management is essential to prevent the chronic fatigue . Chronic fatigue syndrome affected between 30 and 40% of patients with SARS in 2003 or MERS in 2005 and persisted beyond 3 years. There is currently no specific treatment for acute or <4 months asthenia. To avoid the transition to chronicity, some authors recommend respecting a long rest period. However, a program combining adapted physical activity and therapeutic patient education has already shown significant benefits for combating recent or semi-recent fatigue following a cardiovascular pathology and even during cancer treatments. Therefore, the existing care pathway for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was adapted, combining exercise training and therapeutic patient education workshops.
