As our understanding of the nature and prevalence post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome (PCS) is increasing, a measure impact COVID-19 could provide valuable insights into patients' perceptions in clinical trials epidemiological studies as well routine practice. To evaluate usefulness psychometric properties Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale (C19-YRS) patients with PCS, prospective, observational study 187 consecutive attending post-COVID-19 rehabilitation clinic was conducted. The...
Post-exertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) is a characteristic of post-COVID syndrome (PCS). This prospective study investigated the effect 6-week structured World Health Organization (WHO) Borg CR-10 5-phase pacing protocol on PESE episodes and quality life in cohort individuals with long-standing PCS (average duration symptoms was 17 months). Participants received weekly telephone calls clinician to complete Leeds questionnaire (LPQ) identify appropriate phase protocol. EQ-5D 5L completed...
The C19-YRS is the literature's first condition-specific, validated scale for patient assessment and monitoring in Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS). 22-item scale's subscales (scores) are symptom severity (0-100), functional disability (0-50), additional symptoms (0-60), overall health (0-10).This study aimed to test psychometric properties using Rasch analysis modify based on findings, emerging information essential PCS symptoms, feedback from a working group of patients professionals.Data 370...
The C19-YRS was the first scale reported in literature for patient assessment and monitoring Long Covid or Post-COVID syndrome. has demonstrated content validity a previous COVID-19 follow-up study. growing number of patients with syndrome required development self-report version (and digital format) so that can be completed by themselves. Individuals clinicians providing care were involved iterative changes to scale. captures symptom severity, functional disability global health status....
Long COVID (LC) symptoms can be long standing, diverse and debilitating; comprehensive multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs are required to address this.

Methods Data were collected 370 who...
A research-active healthcare workforce contributes to improved quality of care. Clinicians may be unaware that they are applying early research skills during their everyday practice. Greater understanding level attainment improve awareness and confidence in skills. This article describes the development Skills, Capability, Organisational Research Readiness (SCORR) Tool, a simple innovation assesses captures at 1) clinician, 2) organisational level. The SCORR Tool was initially developed...
Background: Measuring movement performance in people with neurological damage requires a tool that reflects physiotherapy assessment and clinical reasoning. The Leeds Movement Performance Index (LMPI) was previously developed by group of physiotherapists to fulfill these requirements. Objective: To assess the reliability LMPI for use practice. Methods: Twelve senior were trained then asked measure five patients whose had been video-recorded this purpose. A retest session completed after two...
