Cardiovascular Complications of Coronavirus Disease-2019
Cardiovascular complications associated with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection are common and lead to high mortality in the acute phase and high morbidity in the chronic phase impacting an individual's quality of life and health outcomes. Patients afflicted with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection display an increased risk for myocarditis, dysrhythmia, pericarditis, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and thromboembolism. Although cardiovascular complications are reported across all patients with COVID-19, hospitalized patients with severe infection are most vulnerable. The underlin...

Addressing Rehabilitation Health Care Disparities During the Coronavirus Disease-2019 Pandemic and Beyond
The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic exposed and expanded upon preexisting health care disparities. Individuals with disabilities and those who identify with racial/ethnic minority groups have been disproportionately adversely impacted. These inequities are likely present in the proportions of individuals impacted by post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection requiring specialized rehabilitation. Specific populations including, but not limited to pregnant, pediatric, and older individuals, may also necessitate tailored medical care during acute infection and beyond. Telemedicine may r...

Considerations in Children and Adolescents Related to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Pediatric post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC) or “long COVID” are a complex multisystemic disease that affects children’s physical, social, and mental health. PASC has a variable presentation, time course, and severity and can affect children even with mild or asymptomatic acute COVID-19 symptoms. Screening for PASC in children with a histor y of SARS-CoV-2 infection is important for early detection and intervention. A multifaceted treatment approach and utilization of multidisciplinary care, if available, are beneficial in managing the complexities of PASC. Lifestyle interventions, physical rehabilitation, and ...

Postoperative Rehabilitation Following Rotator Cuff Repair
Postoperative rehabilitation following rotator cuff repair is essential for a positive patient outcome. Each patient should have a program tailored to their individual tear and repair characteristics. Their plan should be advanced according to their progress, with therapist and surgeon communication. The rehabilitation progresses through 4 stages. This begins with a period of immobilization, passive range of motion, and protecting the repair and ends with functional and sport-specific exercises. Rehabilitation advances in progress-based steps during 24  weeks. The rehabilitation process aims to balance healing of the tend...

Nonoperative Treatment of the Biceps-Labral Complex
The long head of the biceps and superior labrum should be evaluated as an interdependent functional unit. A focused patient history and physical examination including multiple provocative tests should be performed alongside advanced imaging studies to obtain an accurate diagnosis. Nonoperative treatment modalities including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoid injections, and a standardized physical therapy regimen should be exhausted before operative intervention. Significant improvements in pain, functional outcomes, and quality of life are achieved in patients treated nonoperatively. Although these outco...

Managing Scapular Dyskinesis
Scapular dyskinesis, the impairment of optimal scapular position and motion, is common in association with shoulder injury. A comprehensive evaluation process can show the causative factors and lead to effective treatment protocols. The complexity of scapular motion and the integrated relationship between the scapula, humerus, trunk, and legs suggest a need to develop rehabilitation programs that involve all segments working as a unit rather than isolated components. This is best accomplished with an integrated rehabilitation approach that includes rectifying deficits in mobility, strength, and motor control but not overtl...

Adhesive Capsulitis
Adhesive capsulitis, colloquially known as “frozen shoulder,” is a relatively common disorder, affecting approximately 2% to 5% of the general population. The incidence may be higher as the condition can be relatively mild and self-limited and thus many patients who experience it may never present for treatment. It involves a pathologic process of gradual fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint that leads to limited active and passive range of motion, contracture of the joint capsule, and shoulder pain.
