Abstract:
A pandemic of respiratory illnesses known as COVID-19 is currently the biggest threat to global health. Since its outbreak in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, Due to the huge quantity of deaths it has caused worldwide and the lack of an effective therapy up to this time, it has caused significant distress. This explains how the new virus, COVID-19, is highly contagious and can pass through particular barriers to infect people. It can cause illnesses ranging from the common cold (which can mimic the flu or influenza) to severe disease patterns like Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which pose a serious risk to public health. The severity of the disease might range from preclinical illness to upper respiratory tract disease, substantial breathing difficulties, viral pneumonia, and/or death. Guidelines for physical therapists working in hospitals have been developed by the World Physiotherapy in order to assist physical therapists in managing confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 who require physical rehabilitation due to respiratory problems and have copious secretions that are difficult for them to eliminate on their own may benefit from physical therapy. Techniques like posture and airway clearance may be advantageous for the ventilated patient. A prone position may be beneficial for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to help with breathing. The 17% prevalence of ARDS in COVID patients suggests that it may be used as a therapeutic option to lower mortality in patients with impaired oxygenation in the early stages of the disease. Furthermore, it assists in enlisting the dorsal lung regions, which increases end expiratory lung capacity, chest wall elastic, alveolar shunt, and tidal volume. Apparently,COVID-19 patients who are receiving prolonged ventilator support, sedatives, neurogenic inhibitors, analgesics, and antibiotics are more likely to get an infection picked up in the intensive care unit (ICU), which could increase morbidity and death. Physical therapists have a vital role in providing exercise therapy, mobilisation, and rehabilitation therapies to help COVID-19 survivors recover functionally. This is in line with the notion that prompt recovery from COVID requires physical therapy2 .
