Fully remote versus hybrid supervision of pulmonary telerehabilitation in COVID-19: a randomized clinical trial.

Eur J Phys Rehabil Med

December 2024

Division of Pneumology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Campinas, Campinas, Brazil.

Background: The restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have impeded the traditional rehabilitation process, prompting the widespread adoption of remote programs for the recovery of survivors.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of a pulmonary telerehabilitation program (PTRP) in the exclusively remote modality versus the hybrid modality (remote and face-to-face) in patients with persistent respiratory dysfunction following hospitalization for COVID-19 pneumonia, and to compare the functional capacity of patients who participated in a PTRP with those who did not.

Design: A randomised, interventional, prospective clinical trial was conducted.
