Abstract:

Introduction: Though the physical and functional aftermath of Covid has been reported as symptoms ranging from mild to severe, independent of the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, the long-term effects of Post-covid19 are still under wraps. Persistence of long-term Covid symptoms are likely to have an impact on the physical activity of survivors and lead to dependency in activities of daily living. Pro-longed dependency of the survivors for ADL’s cause depression, anxiety, and decrease in confidence, which further lead to complication in long-term. Objectives: To assess the physical activity in SARS-CoV-2 survivors using ABC-Scale Post-hospital discharge. Study Design: Cross-sectional Observational study.
