Home-Based Exercise Tele-Rehabilitation After COVID-19

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Post SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19)

In brief

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in catastrophic infections and fatalities across the nation. Many older Veterans with comorbidities are especially vulnerable to complications and poor recovery. This award will investigate the effect of a novel, home-based, supervised, group exercise tele-rehabilitation in Veterans recovered from COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary and physical function.
