A role for rehabilitation professionals from all disciplines in addressing COVID-19 sequelae is recognised, but it is essential that patient assessment be systematic if health complications are to be identified and treated and, if possible, prevented. The aim is to present a COVID-19 prospective surveillance model based on sensitive and easily used assessment tools, which is urgently required. Following the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine Level of Evidence Tool, an expert team in cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular and mental health worked via telemeetings to establish a model that provides guidelines to rehabilitation professionals working with patients who require rehabilitation after suffering from COVID-19. A COVID-19 prospective surveillance model is proposed for use by rehabilitation professionals and includes both face-to-face and telematic monitoring components. This model should facilitate the early identification and management of long-term COVID-19 sequelae, thus responding to an arising need.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Education Culture and Sport FPU17/00939}, organization = {University of Granada Excellence Actions (Unit of Excellence in Exercise and Health)}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Cardiorespiratory system}, keywords = {COVID-19}, keywords = {Mental health}, keywords = {Neuromuscular system}, keywords = {Prospective surveillance model}, title = {A COVID-19 Rehabilitation Prospective Surveillance Model for Use by Physiotherapists}, doi = {10.3390/jcm10081691}, author = {Postigo Martín, Elisa Paula and Cantarero Villanueva, Irene and Castro Martín, Eduardo and Arroyo Morales, Manuel}, }
