An interventional study of Exercise programme in Cardiopulmonary, sponsored by Eskisehir City Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-03-30.
Sponsored by Eskisehir City Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
The purpose of this RETROSPECTIVE study was to compare the effect of a hospital and home-based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CPR) program on exercise endurance and quality of life in post-acute COVID-19 patients.
88 post-acute COVID-19 patients were divided two groups according to receiving hospital (n=45) or home-based CPR (n=43)in our rehabilitation clinic between January and July 2021. Both protocols consisted of aerobic, breathing and flexibility exercises. Hospital-based CPR: three or four days per week for a total of 20 sessions. Home-based CPR: three or four days/a week over a period of six weeks. The results of six meters walk test (6MWT) for exercise endurance as a main outcome measure, and Borg-dyspnea/fatigue, the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) as secondary outcome measures before and after treatment were recorded.
Eskisehir City Hospital is the lead sponsor of 4 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.

This was a retrospective study. 45 patients who had hospital based cardiopulmonary rehabilitation programme between January and July 2023, in our rehabilitation clinic.
Other: Exercise programme
Both protocols consisted of aerobic, breathing and flexibility exercises. Hospital-based CPR: three or four days per week for a total of 20 sessions. Home-based CPR: three or four days/a week over a period of six weeks.
Exercise endurance
Six minutes walk test (All patients walked along a 30-meter-long corridor without obstacles at their normal walking speed, how many meters they walked was noted.)
Time frame: One day before exercise programme start and one day later exercise programme ends
Dyspnea
Borg scale were also measured before and after 6MWT for perceived dyspnea (scale range from 0 to 10)
Time frame: One day before exercise programme start and one day later exercise programme ends
Muscle fatigue
Borg muscle fatigue (scale range from 6 to 20: higher values show more severe symptoms)
Time frame: One day before exercise programme start and one day later exercise programme ends
short form 36
A quality-of-life assessment was performed using the Short Form-36, which has 36 items regarding physical function, physical role, emotional role, energy, body pain, mental health, general health, and social function. The scale ranges from 0 (poor health) to 100 (perfect health)
Time frame: One day before exercise programme start and one day later exercise programme ends
Musculoskeletal Pain
Visual analog scale-pain was used to measure general body musculoskeletal pain, which was assessed from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain)
Time frame: One day before exercise programme start and one day later exercise programme ends
