Bolesławiec Healthcare Team:
We recommend a short guide for people who have recovered from coronavirus infection, were hospitalized and require rehabilitation. The leaflet can be found via the Find a physiotherapist link (znajdzfizjoterapeute.pl). The advice contained in the leaflet is recommended by the World Health Organization and the National Chamber of Physiotherapists.
The leaflet presents basic exercises and advice for adults who experienced a serious deterioration in their health and were admitted to hospital with a diagnosis of COVID-19 infection.
What topics can be found in the guide?
- what to do in the event of breathlessness;
- physical exercises after leaving hospital;
- what to do in the event of voice problems;
- advice on consuming food and fluids and swallowing;
- what to do in the event of problems with concentration, memory and logical thinking;
- coping with everyday activities;
- coping with stress and mood swings;
- information on when to contact medical staff.
ZOZ:
A healthcare professional providing advice may indicate which of the exercises presented in the leaflet are suitable for you. However, the proposed exercises and recommendations should not replace an individualized exercise program or recommendations given to you by medical staff upon discharge from hospital.
Family and friends can provide valuable support to a recovering person during recovery, so it may be helpful to share this leaflet with them.
