Abstract

ABSTRACT This study focused on the intervention of occupational therapy in improving hand grasp strength in individuals infected with COVID-19, who were hospitalised. This study aims to identify which of three types of intervention (conventional, using Biometrics E-link® G200 with game interface or no direct occupational therapy intervention) improves hand grasp strength in individuals who had COVID-19. The sample has 120 participants divided randomly into one control group and two experimental groups. To assess the necessary parameters, a dynamometer, the Frontal Assessment Battery and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand will be used. The control group will do the assessment along the same lines as the others but will receive the treatment at the end of the clinical trial. It is known that hand grasp strength is frequently used in activities of daily living so, the results may facilitate the selection of more effective intervention programmes to obtain health gains in the population that had COVID-19.

职业治疗干预covid -19后个体手部握力:临床方案建议

本研究的重点是职业治疗对改善COVID-19感染住院患者手部抓握力的干预。本研究旨在确定三种类型的干预(常规，使用生物识别E-link®G200与游戏界面或无直接职业治疗干预)中哪一种可以改善COVID-19患者的手部握力。120名参与者被随机分为一个对照组和两个实验组。为了评估必要的参数，将使用测功机，正面评估电池和手臂，肩膀和手的残疾。对照组将按照与其他组相同的路线进行评估，但将在临床试验结束时接受治疗。众所周知，手部握力在日常生活活动中经常使用，因此，研究结果可能有助于选择更有效的干预方案，以在COVID-19患者中获得健康收益。
