Post-COVID Rehabilitation

© 2023 Aerzteverlag medinfo AG..

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 is a multi-organ disease with a broad spectrum of manifestations. Many affected individuals have major difficulties in resuming their previous daily routine or occupation as a result of the disease. Currently, no causal therapeutic approaches are available for the treatment of post-COVID disease. Due to the wide range of possible symptoms, an interprofessional and integrated treatment should be used, while rehabilitation and interventions should be based on the objective findings as well as on the patient's goals. Fatigue and cognitive impairment are among the most common symptoms, which can limit both occupational participation and coping with everyday life. Fatigue management is a central component of rehabilitation. The workload should be increased very slowly; indications of post-exertional malaise must be given special consideration. Due to the fluctuating course of the disease, a periodic reevaluation and adjustment of the workload may be necessary.
