According to the CDC, 1 in 13 adults in the U.S. has long COVID symptoms after first contracting the virus.
DENVER, Colo. — New research is helping pave the way for better treatment for those suffering from long COVID. Doctors are seeing patients who take part in physical therapy have significantly better outcomes than those who don't.
"Long COVID is a condition that surprisingly a large number of people have had after they've gotten the COVID infection,” said Brandon Davidson, an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Denver who contributed to the University’s study."Some of the patients that we've seen in our research study have had some really debilitating effects from having long COVID.
But research conducted by the University of Denver has helped health providers treat long COVID patients, and it starts with neurological studies like when someone has a concussion. Davidson and his team wondered if they could examine how motor control, motor skills, and movement are affected by COVID-19, and maybe, they could find promising ways to help patients. All of this involves studying eye movement and tracking, along with head movement that Davidson says can traditionally indicate a problem with the brain, which his team has found is treatable by rehabilitation therapy.
