A 14-Day Therapeutic Exercise Telerehabilitation Protocol of Physiotherapy Is Effective in Non-Hospitalized Post-COVID-19... 2023 Rodriguez-Blanco

Abstract

The emergence of COVID-19 has led to serious public health problems. Now that the acute phase of the pandemic has passed, new challenges have arisen in relation to this disease. The post-COVID-19 conditions are a priority for intervention, as months after the onset of the disease, they continue to present symptoms, especially physical and respiratory symptoms. Our aim is to test the efficacy of a fourteen-day telerehabilitation program of respiratory and strength exercises in people with post-COVID-19 conditions. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial was generated in which data from 48 patients were analyzed using the BS, 30STSTST, MD12, VAFS, and 6MWT tests. The obtained results showed the benefit of the intervention in generating great results with respect to the control group.

No mention of PEM, PESE or harm in the paper, so I have no trust in the 'great results'.

 

Ah but it says (something like):

 

What does it say about evidence-based medicine that they can "see" results that are clearly not there while completely ignoring the actual reality of the patients. Without fail. Using biased methodologies where patient outcomes basically don't matter at all. Is literally anything in EBM genuine? How can we even tell anymore when it's all a product of the same process. If there are good results out there, they're all polluted by being mixed with trash.
