Abstract
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has emerged as a critical intervention for individuals recovering from COVID-19, particularly those with post-infection respiratory dysfunction. COVID-19 survivors often experience persistent pulmonary symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and reduced exercise tolerance, which can significantly impair their quality of life. PR is a multidisciplinary approach designed to improve respiratory function, increase physical endurance, and enhance overall well-being through tailored exercise programs, education, and psychological support. This review explores the role of pulmonary rehabilitation in the recovery process of COVID-19 survivors, focusing on the physiological and psychological benefits. Evidence suggests that PR can effectively restore lung function, reduce dyspnea, and promote physical and emotional recovery. The article also highlights key challenges in implementing PR for COVID-19 survivors, including patient selection, program accessibility, and long-term monitoring. Future research should focus on optimizing PR protocols, exploring its benefits in various subgroups, and establishing standardized guidelines for post-COVID-19 rehabilitation.
