Abstract

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the response to it are creating a tsunami of rehabilitation needs. This white paper offers a comprehensive guide to designing effective rehabilitation strategies for individuals recovering from COVID-19. With a focus on treating respiratory and neuromuscular dysfunctions, the rehabilitation demands of COVID-19 survivors are becoming more widely acknowledged. Focused on restoring functional independence, the paper addresses key considerations in the rehabilitation process, including musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, and psychosocial aspects. This white paper serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking guidance on effective rehabilitation strategies post-COVID-19, emphasizing the restoration of functional independence.
