Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped aspects of Physiotherapy (PT) globally, impacting both personal and professional spheres of physiotherapists (PTs). This book aims to examine the pandemic's effects on PT and underscore the importance of physiotherapy. Healthcare providers, including PTs, faced significant challenges across physical, psychological, social, and financial domains. PTs play a vital role in the physical recovery of COVID-19 patients, necessitating a multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach. Tele-physiotherapy emerges as a new avenue for PTs to deliver healthcare services remotely. Exercises not only enhance immune response and mental health but also mitigate viral infection consequences. Consequently, PTs contribute to COVID-19 patient care and bolster the healthcare system.Cardiac rehabilitation has evolved over three centuries, and now to a multi-faceted, multi-morbidity chronic disease management programme. The key clinical outcomes have shifted from achieving unnecessary prolonged bed-rest and sooner return to figure, to reduced mortality and more recently to healthcare cost savings.. With both medical and private care technology advancing and aiding within the preservation of life, it's important to always be mindful of what this suggests in reference to the each patient's quality of psycho-social life. An emerging focus for CR, and in some cases ""pre-habilitation"", is that of a chronic disability management programme increasingly delivered in community and residential set- tings. Within this delivery model, the utilization of remote personalised technologies is now emerging, especially with new needs accelerated by the pandemic of COVID-19.
