Abstract

Background: Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that causes muscle weakness and fatigue due to antibodies attacking the acetylcholine receptor. In patients with MG, fatigue can be worsened by concurrent long COVID, leading to further deterioration of cardiorespiratory function. Case: A 44-year-old woman with long COVID syndrome and thymoma-associated myasthenia was given an exercise program that aimed to overcome fatigue so that the patient could carry out her role as a housewife, and to prepare for thymectomy surgery. Before exercise, patients were educated to take pyridostigmine 1 hour earlier. During exercise, the patient was monitored to prevent excessive fatigue. At the end of the training session, the patient was asked to observe for signs of exacerbation until the next training session. Discussion: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) can be beneficial for patients with thymoma-associated MG and long COVID-19, but it requires special strategies. PR typically starts with light weights and gradually increases in intensity. It has been shown to improve fatigue and cardiorespiratory endurance, as indicated by a successful 6-minute walk test after 4 weeks of training intervention. Conclusion: Pulmonary rehabilitation plays an important role in increasing cardiorespiratory endurance and functional capacity for surgery preparation. The provision of pulmonary rehabilitation programs must be tailor-made according to the patient's functional ability and underlying disease to achieve optimal goals.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a condition which airflow limitation occurs due to an abnormality of the airways. The cause of COPD is usually exposure to noxious particles or gases. COPD is often accompanied by metabolic syndrome and leads to impaired physical activity, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. According to the international recommendation, COPD patients should receive a 30-minute daily step program. Pulmonary rehabilitation program with daily step count could be prescribed to all COPD patients who have no exacerbations within 4 weeks and able to ambulate. The pedometer can be used for ≥ 8 hours/day, ≥ 3 days/week, and a minimum of ≥ 100 steps/day. Increasing activity that can be assessed by calculating daily steps in patients with COPD can reduce the number of exacerbations, reduces the risk of death, increases exercise capacity, and improves the quality of life.
