Few studies have demonstrated that subjects with Covid have breathless at rest, fever, sore throat and other pneumonia like symptoms and are known to respond effectively towards Drug therapy which boosts their immunity. Physiotherapy is very well studied to improve immunity by imposing various exercises on the affected part, thus strengthening that part. Deep breathing and chest expansion exercises are known to be effective in treating subjects with such symptoms. Various exercises have been demonstrated for subjects with Covid. According to authors’ knowledge there is very less number of studies demonstrating the effectiveness of the exercise protocol formed for Covid subjects. The objective of the study is to investigate the short term effectiveness of Structured Exercise Protocol on respiratory parameters in subjects with Covid. It is an experimental study conducted on 50 Covid positive subjects who were given regular chest physiotherapy including deep breathing exercises, segmental breathing exercises, chest expansion exercises and dedicated prone lying. The results demonstrated that: modified Borg’s scale of dyspnoea, SPO2, Respiratory rate, Xray changes, Heart rate and number of active cough extraction showed significant changes. Dedicated prone lying along with regular chest physiotherapy showed great improvement in respiratory parameters.

运动方案对COVID受试者呼吸功能的短期影响

很少有研究表明，患有Covid的受试者在休息，发烧，喉咙痛和其他肺炎等症状时会出现呼吸困难，并且对药物疗法有效地产生反应，从而增强他们的免疫力。对物理疗法进行了很好的研究，以通过对患处进行各种锻炼来提高免疫力，从而增强该部位。众所周知，深呼吸和胸部伸展运动可有效治疗患有此类症状的受试者。已针对Covid的对象演示了各种练习。根据作者的知识，很少有研究证明针对Covid受试者制定的运动方案的有效性。这项研究的目的是研究结构锻炼方案对Covid受试者呼吸参数的短期有效性。这是一项针对50名Covid阳性受试者的实验研究，这些受试者接受了定期的胸部物理治疗，包括深呼吸练习，分段呼吸练习，扩胸练习和俯卧。结果表明：改良的Borg呼吸困难量表，SPO2，呼吸频率，X射线变化，心率和主动咳嗽次数均呈显着变化。专用俯卧躺和常规胸部物理疗法可改善呼吸参数。心率和主动咳嗽次数显示出明显变化。专用俯卧躺和常规胸部物理疗法可改善呼吸参数。心率和主动咳嗽次数显示出明显变化。专用俯卧躺和常规胸部物理疗法可改善呼吸参数。
