Cochrane Library Special Collection
Coronavirus (COVID-19): evidence relevant to clinical rehabilitation

Rehabilitation has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an essential health strategy alongside promotion, prevention, treatment, and palliative care. This Special Collection is the result of collaboration within Cochrane Rehabilitation, with rigorous involvement from stakeholders: the Steering Committee of the REH-COVER (Rehabilitation COVID-19 Evidence-based Response) action and the Cochrane Rehabilitation Advisory Board. The agreed upon list of relevant conditions is the product of a structured prioritization process for identifying the list of conditions, and subsequently review inclusion, except for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for which Cochrane Mental Health and Neuroscience was consulted. More information is available HERE.

An award to Cochrane Rehabilitation

Cochrane Rehabilitation has been recognized by AMLAR (The Latin America Medical Associacion of Rehabilitation) together with the Antioquia University EBM Group for Spanish translations of our blogshots.
