Abstract
El virus por COVID-19 ha causado dificultades tanto físicas, psicológicas como respiratorias, entre los síntomas principales que presenta esta enfermedad resalta insuficiencia respiratoria a la que se suma la fragilidad física en respuesta a largos periodos de encamamiento en Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. La investigación del caso clínico realizada a una paciente post COVID -19 quien tuvo una estancia prolongada de hospitalización, posteriormente tratada en su domicilio, donde la fisioterapia empleada se basó en la técnica de Facilitación Neuromuscular Propioceptiva combinada con ejercicios respiratorios que tienen como objetivo mejorar la funcionalidad del paciente post COVID-19. Se monitorizó los signos vitales al comienzo y final de la terapia. De igual manera se emplearon patrones bilaterales de F.N.P. en las extremidades superiores e inferiores, combinándose con los ejercicios respiratorios evidenciándose aumento de la capacidad respiratoria y mejorando el nivel de funcionalidad de la paciente. Se realizó una valoración mediante la escala de Borg para la percepción subjetiva de la dificultad respiratoria o del esfuerzo físico realizado.
The COVID-19 virus has caused both physical, psychological and respiratory difficulties, among the main symptoms that this disease presents is respiratory failure to which is added physical fragility in response to long periods of bedridden in the Intensive Care Unit. The clinical case investigation carried out on a post-COVID-19 patient who had a prolonged hospitalization stay, subsequently treated at home, where the physiotherapy used was based on the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique combined with respiratory exercises that aim to improve the post-COVID-19 patient functionality. Vital signs were monitored at the beginning and end of therapy. Similarly, bilateral F.N.P. patterns were used. in the upper and lower extremities, combining with respiratory exercises, showing an increase in respiratory capacity and improving the level of functionality of the patient. An assessment was made using the Borg scale for the subjective perception of respiratory distress or physical exertion.
