Patients discharging from acute care following a COVID-19 illness may need additional specialized rehabilitative care to regain their strength, endurance, and cognitive function.
Evidence shows that the effects extend beyond respiratory systems. Other complications include effects on the brain, neurological system, heart, muscle skeletal system and other regions of the body. To serve the rehabilitation and recovery needs of post-COVID patients, Spectrum Fitness & Rehab developed a Post-COVID Rehab Program.
Why is Post Covid-19 Rehabilitation So Important?
Research indicates more than 70% of all patients discharged from the hospital are likely to incur some physical complications, if untreated, such complications can lead to long term loss of function, decreased quality of life, and further health complications.
As more details of COVID-19 emerge, the need for early intervention and recovery, programs has become increasingly clear. Physical and occupational therapy has been proven to help restore function in patients following acute illness.
