Combined effect of positioning and conventional respiratory physical therapy in complicated case of COVID-19: a case report

Many neurological and cardiovascular complications have been discovered post-COVID 19 infections. Long-term pulmonary complications like pneumonia, respiratory failure, ARDS, and lung abscess are described in different studies. To overcome these complications respiratory chest physiotherapy plays an important role for an individual. Respiratory chest physiotherapy has been shown to improve gas exchange, reverse pathological progression, and reduce or avoid the need for artificial ventilation when it is provided very early in other respiratory conditions. This case study highlights the combined effects of positioning with conventional Respiratory chest physiotherapy in post-COVID 19 respiratory complications in a 26-year-old young individual, presenting with complaints like dyspnoea. Changes in modified medical research council (MMRC) score and chest X-ray were seen by end of discharge of the patient.
