About

Most people who have coronavirus disease (COVID-19) recover completely without any sequelae. However, some patients continue to experience symptoms of COVID-19 even though their tests turn negative. This clinical spectrum that occurs after acute infection is called the post-COVID syndrome (PCS). Dyspnea, pain, decreased exercise capacity, limitations in activities of daily living, poor sleep quality, anxiety and depression are common symptoms in PCS. The aim of our study is to examine the effect of tele-rehabilitation-based exercise program on dyspnea, pain, functional capacity, sleep quality, anxiety and depression in individuals with PCS.
