ABSTRACT
The objective of the study to design a protocol on the effectiveness of physiotherapy on long term physical and mental health of recovered patients from coronavirus disease 2019.
Methods: The following electronic databases will be searched from inception to December 2021: PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases, and other databases. We will include all published documents regarding this topic. Two separate individuals will analyse studies and select accordingly after removal of duplicate studies. Then, final screening, assessment of quality of the articles and data analysis will be done. Meta-analyses, subgroup analysis, and descriptive analysis will be performed based on the included data conditions.
Results: Methodological heterogeneity analysis of current evidence will be provided from Physical health outcomes like Barthel Index or Functional Independence measure scale and questionnaires describing health status like Physical Health Questionnaire and Mental health outcomes like SRQ-20, Hamilton Depression scale or Hamilton Anxiety scale.
Conclusion: This study will provide the evidence regarding the importance of physiotherapy in future physical and mental health of recovered COVID-19 patients, when performed during treatment of disease in acute hospital management. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020190863
Key words: Coronavirus disease 2019, Protocol, Rehabilitation, Review.
