Summary

Previous studies prior to the COVID-19 pandemic show that cardiovascular and blood pressure assessment by physical therapists is inadequate or lacking despite prior training. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, assessment of cardiovascular and respiratory function may become more critical as the manifestation of long COVID has become a concern. The purpose of this study is to determine whether physical therapists' attitudes and beliefs towards vital sign assessment have changed following the COVID-19 pandemic.
