Abstract
Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or COVID-19 has grown to become a global pandemic. Although much has been learned about the virus, the complete impact is still not fully understood. This highly infectious pathogen can cause multiple complications in infected individuals, leading to impairments and functional limitations. To date, there has been limited literature available to describe the rehabilitation needs of patients with COVID-19. New York City (NYC) was initially identified as the United States epicenter, where various health system faced unique considerations when managing patients with COVID-19. The purpose of this article was to share the clinical perspectives of the acute physical therapy (PT) team working in one of the large health system in NYC. The report will describe the role PT played in the evaluation, assessment, and treatment of patients with COVID-19 as they navigated the acute hospital setting.
