Abstract

A substantial proportion of the COVID-19 survivors require the physical and mental support due to the post COVID-19 syndrome. In response to this demand a comprehensive rehabilitation program tailored to the individual needs has been developed. The program is linked with a Post-COVID-19 Rehabilitation (PCR-SIRIO 8) study that aims to objectively evaluate the outcomes of the post-COVID-19 rehabilitation.

The study was designed as a prospective, single-center, observational study involving patients suffering from post-COVID-19 syndrome. Patients meeting the inclusion criteria are invited for an initial visit including medical and physiotherapeutic examination. Rehabilitation program includes physical training, therapeutic education, and psychotherapeutic workshops. Individual psychotherapeutic, educational and medical visits are carried out additionally depending on the patient’s needs. Closing visit evaluates individual effects of the rehabilitation program.

We believe that our observational study will provide knowledge necessary to optimize post-COVID-19 rehabilitation.
