Overview

A growing number of individuals are living with persistent and prolonged signs and symptoms following infection consistent with COVID-19, referred to as Long COVID, post COVID-19 condition, or postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV2.

Individuals living with Long COVID are experiencing a range of symptoms and impairments that impact their ability to carry out day-to-day activities or engage in social and community life roles. With increasing disability, there is a role for rehabilitation, including physiotherapy. However, the long-term trajectory of Long COVID remains unknown. Therefore, there is a need to conceptualize disability in Long COVID to inform effective healthcare and rehabilitation approaches and interventions to enhance clinical practice, policy, and research.

We would like to make this course accessible to all community members living with Long COVID. If you are a person living with Long COVID and you have a financial barrier to attending this webinar at the stated fee, you can contact alison.reid@live.ca for more information.
