ABSTRACT
Mucormycosis, often known as 'black fungus' in India, is a fungal illness that has been identified in COVID-19 patients on an irregular basis. This case report describes a patient who was diagnosed with rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis infection following COVID-19 infection. The COVID-19 infection weakens the patient's immune system, making the patient more susceptible to other fungal infections. He had surgery for this as well as ocular exenteration surgery. A physiotherapy treatment was intended to battle the post-surgery problems, including COVID-19 infection. The goal of the physiotherapy was to improve the patient's facial muscles after surgery. Following recovery from the COVID-19 infection, it also aimed to strengthen the patient's respiratory capacity and increase his exercise tolerance. As a result, the patient's quality of life improves. It included the facial proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise as well as a well -planned cardiovascular exercise programme. The 6-minute walk test, peak expiratory flow rate, and quality of life questionnaire were used to assess the efficacy of the physiotherapy treatment.
ABSTRACT
The ongoing corona virus outbreak (COVID-19) has turn into pandemic, by rapidly spreading and infecting all over the world. It left no other choice than implementing the lockdown all over the country. This lockdown has lead to the development of sedentary lifestyle among the people leaving them with inactivity, anxiety, depression and with an elevated chance of a potential aggravation of the health problems. Therefore, not just modifying people’s lifestyles during quarantine and keeping an active lifestyle at home, it is very necessary for the overall population’s safety, but particularly for those with additional risk factors and the elderly to conduct daily physical indoor activities and exercises. The data was collected from the electronic databases. The review includes the quarantine population of all age group and gender. After reviewing the articles it was concluded that the multi-component full-body programs should be carried out by the population, including aerobic, strengthening, balancing and stretching exercises by modifying and utilizing both the space and material available. Doing physical exercise will help us to stay active during quarantine period so that after the end of the crisis we will be able to resume our work without lethargy. © 2021, Institute of Medico-Legal Publications.
