Post COVID-19 Rehabilitation
Patients who recovered from COVID-19 may continue to experience Post-COVID or Long COVID conditions. It will affect different organs, such as the respiratory system, cardiovascular system, muscles, cognitive and memory, etc., thereby reducing their performances, which, in turn, disrupt the patients’ daily life routine. Some symptoms are forgetfulness and fatigue. So, it is important to have the right Post-COVID rehabilitation.
Post-COVID Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms that linger over time and need rehabilitation include:
- Post-nasal drip or mucus, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, which may be caused by pulmonary fibrosis. There’s a rehabilitation program which uses Trilogy ventilator to help improve respiratory conditions.
- Balance problem when getting out of bed or walking which affects the patient’s routine. Programs to strengthen muscles, bones and joint are available.
- Aches and pains from spending too much time in bed for those with low or moderate risks. Patients may benefit from some physical therapy equipment that can help reduce those pains and strengthen muscles.
Rehabilitation Programs for Post-COVID
Our programs are designed to help patients return to regular routine efficiently and safely return to work. Our rehabilitation team, physical therapists and occupational therapists will assess each patient’s condition and plan effective individualized program that is best for each person, such as
- Exercise to increase endurance of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
- Exercise to increase the flexibility of specific muscles.
- Programs to reduce aches and pains.
- Cognitive and memory enhancement programs.
- Other rehabilitation programs that correspond to other physical disabilities:
1) PMS (PERIPHERAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION) uses high-intensity magnetic field to relieve pain by stimulating the nervous system and muscles.
- Helps reduce aches, pain and fatigue to make patients relax and comfortable after the treatment.
- Helps strengthen and improve blood circulation.
- Stimulates the brain to promote motor function and regain arms and legs movement.
Candidates for PMS are:
- Patients who suffer from paresis, paralysis, peripheral neuropathy or diabetic neuropathy.
- Patients who suffer from muscle aches and pains, such as office syndrome, work from home, aches and pains from exercise or driving long distance.
2) RF RADIOFREQUENCY uses oscillating electric currents to treat the following symptoms:
- Reduces pain from peripheral nervous system before it sends signals to the brain.
- Stimulates the circulatory system for fast recovery and faster wound healing.
- Reduces residual buildup of wastes, such as lactic acid.
- Helps reduce tightness to relax and decrease the pain.
Candidates for RF are:
- Patients who have muscles and joints pain or degenerative spine.
- Patients who recover from muscles injury on the lower back.
3) TRILOGY Ventilator is capable of delivering both invasive and non-invasive pressure modes.
- Helps increase lung capacity to fill more air.
- Helps with exhalation to clear the airway passage and mucus or maintain pressure to prevent collapsed lungs.
Candidates for Trilogy are:
- Patients who are bedridden can also have collapsed lungs. The ventilator can help expand lungs capacity, reduce shortness of breath, increase blood-oxygen level, and reduce accumulation of mucus and carbon dioxide, which causes headaches leading to sleeplessness.
4) TREADMILL is a cardio workout equipment, which is good for the lungs, heart and blood vessels.
- Strengthens and enhances endurance of muscles, bones and joints.
- Exercising for 30-60 min/day can help improve brain function and memory.
5) Arms and Legs Muscles Exerciser is a computerized equipment to help patients safely develop muscles in the arms and legs.
- Helps reduce risk of muscle injuries and increases safety for users.
Candidates for Arms and Legs Muscles Exerciser
- Elderly patients
- Patients who suffer or are recovering from illnesses such as Post-COVID patients.
- People who are interested Digital Transform Fitness.
6) WalkBOT: Robot Assisted Gait Training: RAGT
- Train and control your muscles.
Candidates for WalkBOT
- Patients who suffer from paresis and paralysis or neurological disorders .
7) AQUATIC TREADMILL
- Relaxes and reduces swelling in the limbs
- Strengthens muscles
Candidate for AQUATIC TREADMILL
- Elderly patients with balance problems.
- Pre- and post-spine and joints surgery patients.
- Patients who suffer from chronic musculoskeletal pain, knee joints – hip degeneration and fractures.
- Patients with heart condition, partial paralysis, affected by Parkinson’s disease.
- Overweight people can run for exercise without joint and muscles injuries.
8) CEILING HOIST
- Practice balance, standing and walking.
- Torso support.
- Induce internal homeostasis and walking control.
- Prevent falling.
Candidates for CEILING HOIST
- Elderly patients.
- Patients who suffer from muscle weakness.
- Patients with partial paralysis.
- Patients with neurological disorder.
- Patients with compromised skeletomuscular system such that they cannot support their own weight.
9) HAND REHABILITATION TRAINING
- Motor rehabilitation to improve hands and wrists muscles strength.
- Increase daily routine performance.
- Visual Feedback System from trainer’s log helps stimulate response and cognitive.
- Therapist helps adjust difficulty levels by adding more weight to suit individual needs.
