INTRODUCTION: patients who have Covid-19, regardless of the clinical spectrum of the disease, may present, after hospital discharge, persistent symptoms for up to 14 months. These patients have functional and quality of life impairments and, therefore, pulmonary rehabilitation for six consecutive weeks is indicated. This article evaluated
the functional aspects and quality of life of post-Covid-19 patients treated in a pulmonary rehabilitation program. METHODS: this is a prospective clinical cohort study. Post-Covid-19 patients who joined a pulmonary rehabilitation
program were evaluated concerning the variables functionality by the Barthel Index and the PCFS scale, and quality of life by the SF-36 at admission (T0) and after six weeks of rehabilitation treatment (T1). RESULTS: Eleven patients who participated in the study showed improved functionality both by the Barthel Index (p<0.01) and the PCFS scale (p<0.01) and also improved quality of life in the functional capacity domains (p < 0.01), limitation due to physical
aspects (p<0.05) and social aspects (p<0.01) at T1 compared to T0. CONCLUSION: post-Covid-19 patients showed improved functionality and quality of life after a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
