Abstract

Background: Post-COVID-19 syndrome is increasingly associated with neurological complications, including peripheral neuropathy and functional deconditioning, leading to persistent disability.

Case Presentation: A 45-year-old female presented with sensory disturbances, muscle weakness, balance impairment, and reduced functional capacity following recovery from moderate\ COVID-19 infection.

Intervention: An individualized, phase-wise physiotherapy program emphasizing sensory re-education, progressive strengthening, balance training, and aerobic conditioning was administered over 8 weeks.

Outcome Measures: Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Functional Independence Measure, Berg Balance Scale, and Manual Muscle Testing were used.

Results: Substantial improvement was observed in pain, balance, muscle strength, and functional independence.

Conclusion: Structured physiotherapy intervention plays a critical role in restoring function in patients with post-COVID-19 peripheral neuropathy and deconditioning.
