Therapists play a vital role in treating patients with COVID-19 as they progress beyond acute care and through the rehabilitation phase. This course focuses on the clinical therapy management of patients in rehabilitation, homecare, and SNF settings with debility and neurological conditions related to COVID-19. Discussions will focus on the various ways the medical care and therapy services can adjust services and how these adjustments will affect the rehabilitation outcomes of those patients.
Therapists facing this pandemic in the heart of New York City will share current evidence and their clinical pearls to evaluate and treat this patient population using a variety of case studies.
Course Objectives:
- Discuss the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and its impact and implications on patient rehabilitation.
