| description | This study addresses the imperative need for reliable assessment protocols in guiding rehabilitation interventions for individuals post-COVID-19, considering the enduring physiological effects of the virus. A cohort of 40 post-COVID-19 individuals underwent assessments using the Londrina ADL protocol, Glittre ADL test, and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). Physiological parameters were recorded during and after each test, including heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. The post hoc comparisons between the pre-test and post-test cardiopulmonary response of the three tests showed significant differences, except diastolic blood pressure (6MWT vs. Londrina ADL protocol), heart rate (6MWT vs. Londrina ADL protocol), respiratory rate (6MWT vs. Londrina ADL protocol), blood oxygen level (SpO2) (6MWT vs. Londrina ADL protocol), dyspnea (Londrina ADL protocol vs. Glittre ADL test), and fatigue (Londrina ADL protocol vs. Glittre ADL test). The Londrina ADL protocol demonstrated cardio-pulmonary responses comparable to the Glittre ADL test, as well as the 6MWT, emphasizing its effectiveness in evaluating walking-related outcomes. The study concludes that the Londrina ADL protocol is a robust and practical tool for the routine clinical testing of daily living activities in post-COVID-19 individuals. While the 6MWT remains valuable for assessing walking-related outcomes, a combined approach employing the Londrina ADL protocol and 6MWT offers a comprehensive strategy for evaluating multifaceted functional capacities in this population. |
