Introduction. SARS-CoV2 infection generates significant morbidity and mortality, for this reason, it is necessary to know the post-infection functional status of the patients in order to develop appropriate rehabilitation interventions.
Objective. To define the musculoskeletal, functional, and balance compromise in a group of patients recovered from COVID-19 and treated in a fourth-level university hospital in Cali, Colombia.
Materials and methods. Descriptive cross-sectional study in which functional measurements were conducted in patients recovered from COVID-19 who were classified into two groups: those who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and those who were not.
Results. In the patients admitted to the ICU, a greater number of comorbidities were found, as well as a greater functional impact on scales such as the FIM, especially on the motor component.
Conclusion. Given the results, it is of great importance to follow-up closely the surviving COVID-19 patients in order to design specific plans for their rehabilitation in the future.
