Home-Based Exercise Tele-Rehabilitation After COVID-19

Home-Based Exercise Tele-Rehabilitation in High-Risk Veterans: Impact of COVID-19 Exposure and Socioeconomic Factors

Sponsor

VA Office of Research and Development

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Jun 29, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Post SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19)

Summary

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.

Eligibility

Min Age: 50 YearsMax Age: 85 Years
