dc.description.abstract Background: There is still a scarcity of evidence about the clinical severity of symptoms and functional disability in post coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) Syndrome (PCS). Aim: To assess the scope for rehabilitation of the parson with long-covid symptoms by using Yorkshire Rehabilitation scale. Methodology: A cross-sectional study. A stratified sample of 452 participant were selected from divisional centers of Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralised. Result: Among 452 participants, the prevalence of post-covid symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness, and pain was, respectively, 34.3%, 12.2%, and 20%. The correlation between symptom severity, functional disability, and overall health was explored. The mean age was 37.95 years, with 148 (32.7%) females. Symptoms and functional difficulties increased substantially when compared to before infection. Three distinct severity phenotypes of mild (n = 90), moderate (n = 186), and severe (n = 94) were identified. Symptom scores were strongly positively correlated with functional difficulty scores (0.889, p <0.001) and negatively correlated with overall health (-0.658, p <0.001). Conclusion: Severity phenotypes can help stratify patients for targeted interventions and rehabilitation care planning.
