Telerehabilitation improves physical function and reduces dyspnoea in people with COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 conditions: a systematic review

Alexia Gabriela da Silva Vieira et al.

Summary: Breathing exercises and exercise delivered via telerehabilitation have shown improvements in functional capacity, dyspnoea, and performance, with low certainty of evidence. Adverse events were mostly mild or moderate and occurred similarly in the telerehabilitation group and control group.

Lockdown Effects on Healthy Cognitive Aging During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Study

Martina Amanzio et al.

Summary: The study found that during the COVID-19 pandemic, physical frailty in older adults is related to lockdown fatigue. Cognitive and psychological factors play important roles in explaining handgrip strength and gait speed, while lockdown fatigue is associated with symptoms of depression and performance on cognitive tests.

Frailty and Physical Fitness in Elderly People: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

David Navarrete-Villanueva et al.

Summary: The study found a clear association between physical fitness components and frailty syndrome in elderly people, with usual walking speed being the most strongly associated fitness test. Potential mediators such as age, sex, body mass index, or institutionalization status did not account for the heterogeneity between studies.

The Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Physical Activity and New Incidence of Frailty among Initially Non-Frail Older Adults in Japan: A Follow-Up Online Survey

Minoru Yamada et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity and frailty among older adults in Japan. The results showed that older adults who live alone and are socially inactive experienced a significant decrease in physical activity and were at a higher risk of incident frailty compared to those who were not living alone and were socially active. Understanding this mechanism could be essential for maintaining the health status of older adults.

Impact of social and mobility restrictions in Parkinson's disease during COVID-19 lockdown

Raquel Luis-Martinez et al.

Summary: This study observed changes in 12 PD patients before and after COVID-19 lockdown, revealing worsened Mini-BESTest scores, increased risk of falls, and higher body weight after two months of isolation. Despite no significant changes in quality of life, maintaining contact with a multidisciplinary team during lockdown may have mitigated some negative effects.

Recovering of oxygenation, physical function and disability in patients with Covid-19

Laura Bertacchini et al.

Summary: This case report describes the middle-term course of respiratory and physical variables in eight Covid-19 patients transferred from the ICU to a subacute Covid-19 unit. After receiving pulmonary rehabilitation and a tele-rehabilitation program at home, the patients showed improvements in oxygenation, physical function, and disability, but not all patients fully recovered, with some needing further follow-up and rehabilitation maintenance.
