Efficacy of Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Telerehabilitation for Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Post-COVID-19 Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The present findings show that both modalities demonstrated positive effects over an 8-week TR program in adults with PCS. However, the synchronous approach achieved greater improvements in lower limb functionality, dyspnea, fatigue, stress, and quality of life. Our findings revealed that asynchronous model was associated with higher dropout rates and suggest synchronous TR may offer advantages regarding treatment adherence.

Abstract

The present findings show that both modalities demonstrated positive effects over an 8-week TR program in adults with PCS. However, the synchronous approach achieved greater improvements in lower limb functionality, dyspnea, fatigue, stress, and quality of life. Our findings revealed that asynchronous model was associated with higher dropout rates and suggest synchronous TR may offer advantages regarding treatment adherence.
