COVID is a still a mysterious infection with wide range of symptoms. People affected by COVID often face prolonged complications such as brain stroke, sleep disturbances, confusion, cardio-pulmonary disturbances, stone formation in kidney, bladder infection, diarrhea, joint & muscle pain among others. To prevent these complications in patients, one should attend a COVID Rehab program. The program reduces the impairments and disabilities that arise out of COVID-19 infection.
The program includes a team of specialists who come together to maximize the independence and quality of life among patients post COVID. The other important role of the rehab program is to treat the pre-existing premorbidity.
The main physician assesses the patient on a daily basis to chart health goals. The goals are further supported by the involvement of nurses, dietician, psychologist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, pulmonary specialist and other health staff. Here’s what each healthcare specialist focuses on:
The practice of incentive spirometer, meditation, and exercise bike boosts the fitness post COVID. Also, get habituated to walking.
The rehab program includes assessment, and health goal setting as the main objectives. While the initial focus is on endurance building, nutritional value, psychological strength and joint movement, the program goes on to focus on strength training.
The duration of rehab program is not fixed. But it should be at least continued until the patient is able to perform the daily chores with minimal support. Even after the patient is discharged, the focus should be on good diet, exercise and breathing exercises.
COVID has taught us that good health is not our right, but our duty. Regular workout and nutrition should be kept on high priority to bounce back, fitter & better!
