These post-COVID19 patients might present multiple factors, which culminates in impairment of oxygenation to skeletal muscles, with prejudice in overall functional capacity. These factors can be described as a reduced pulmonary diffusion capacity, a cardiovascular and oxygen transport dysfunction and deconditioning of skeletal muscles.</p> <p>            The proposition of pulmonary rehabilitation program for the aforementioned patients evaluates pulmonary, cardiac, skeletal muscles and overall function. The conduction of this program might address specifically each one of the potential impairment oxygenation factors, with significant impact evaluated functions and, by consequence, in overall functional capacity.</p>}, journal={Manual Therapy, Posturology & Rehabilitation Journal}, author={Pádua, Karina Lúcia Cabral and Rosa, Karissa Yasmim Araújo and Oliveira, Miriã Cândida de and Lino, Maria Eduarda Moreira and Fonseca, Adriano Luís and Maldaner, Vinícius Zacarias and Melo, Felipe Xavier de and Santos, Dante Brasil}, year={2021}, month={Dec.}, pages={1–4} }
