Framework of Research Priorities in COVID Rehabilitation, developed by the Rehabilitation Science Research Network for COVID, and collaborators, through 5 consultations. This Framework of Research Priorities in COVID Rehabilitation provides a foundation to advance COVID-19 and Long COVID disability and rehabilitation research to promote the health and well-being of persons with COVID-19, Long COVID, and their caregivers. The Framework may be used by researchers, clinicians, trainees, and members of the community to inform future COVID rehabilitation research.
An article that describes an international consultation on priorities for long COVID and rehabilitation with people living with long COVID, clinicians, researchers, and other key interest-holders (referred to collectively as “consultants”) who registered for and attended the Long COVID Physio International Forum.
