Abstract
COVID-19 affection is known to show multi-system involvement. As impairments are expected to be seen in various systems of the body, outcomes related to the function of different systems should be considered while evaluating a patient. This case series of 5 patients brings out the functional status of acute covid-19 patients admitted to the hospital. The evaluation involves outcomes related to Musculo-skeletal (30 second sit to stand test) pulmonary function (single breath hold & breath holding time) and functional capacity (6-minute walk test), which were practical in COVID-19 scenario, in view of maintaining restricted contact with the patient. The evaluation is also done at the time of discharge from the hospital to evaluate the need for post-acute-covid rehabilitation. KEY WORDS: COVID-19, impairments, Musculo-skeletal, pulmonary function.
