The Perme Score proved effective for assessing mobility in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 with prolonged hospitalization outside the intensive care setting. In addition, we demonstrated by the value of the Perme Score that the level of mobility increases significantly from the time of admission to inpatient units until hospital discharge. There was no association between the Perme Score value and length of hospital stay.
