Popis: Thousands of Italians with COVID-19 were admitted to the hospital. In the Piedmont Region 12 272 patients as of May 12 2020 [1] survived the hospital admission, and most of them were discharged home. As the influx of COVID-19 patients is exceeding the hospital bed-capacity in Northern Italy, patients are discharged home after two negative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests for the acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2, notwithstanding their physical status. Nevertheless, lower-limb muscle deconditioning and an impaired performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) are likely to occur. Indeed, COVID-19 patients suffer from multiple symptoms during hospitalisation, and the acute care takes place in strict isolation, which will reduce patient's mobility to zero [2].
About half of the post-COVID-19 patients had severe impairments in physical functioning and during the ADLs at discharge home.This current results provide a clear rationale to study the safety and efficacy of rehabilitative interventions in these patients.
