Tracking # 20-899297
Course overview
COVID-19 has impacted our personal and professional lives, and how we as speech-pathologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists' practice. This course expands on our basic knowledge of virus transmission, known variants, symptomatic vs. asymptomatic as well as current treatments including mechanical ventilation, intubation, and the need for alternative nutrition. Pediatric cases have increased with severe complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). Long COVID or long haulers have their own set of health issues that impact quality of life. This course will present current research discussing the known impact on voice, respiration, ADLs, function, endurance, nutrition, GI system, dysphagia and cognition and the challenges faced in rehabilitation of the long haulers or long covid patients.
