ABSTRACT
The case report has been presented to show the effects of structured exercise protocol and tele-counselling on oxygen saturation level and rate of perceived exertion rate in older men with COVID 19 using digital pulse oximeter and Modified Borg's Scale. The present case is that of a 72-year-old male. He was guided for a structured exercises and tele-counselling for 3 weeks. The program included Chest percussion techniques, deep breathing and thorax mobility exercises, incentive spirometry exercise, performed daily twice a week, 30 min each session, for 3 weeks. Outcome measures included the oxygen saturation and rate of perceived exertion changes by Pulse oximeter and Modified Borg's scale grading. The Pre and Post-test of the patient demonstrated significantly greater improvements in oxygen saturation level and rate of perceived exertion also. This case study provides a promising exercise intervention and tele-counselling that may improve chest compliance and improved activities in older men with COVID 19 respiratory issues. © 2020 Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications.
