Abstract

The study of the consequences following COVID infection to comprehend the long-term and after-effects of this lethal epidemic is an emerging area of interest. In the light of COVID's many known and unknow manifestations, life after COVID seems to be so unpredictable. To the best of their ability, biopsychosocial models have described the scope of the epidemic. Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is one of the biggest consequences following COVID, albeit the underlying mechanisms are yet unknown. Research on the connection between COVID-19 infection and stroke is ongoing. We can obtain a better knowledge of the efficacy of rehabilitation by looking at the functional improvement of such a susceptible population following active rehabilitation services and by comprehending the likely predictors. To deliver the right care, these variables influencing functional gain must be quickly addressed. The goal of rehabilitation, an evidence-based, problem-solving approach, is to promote positive outcomes and demonstrate success. This chapter offers a perspective on the problems following a COVID stroke as well as the consequences of rehabilitation and its efficacy in promoting optimal functioning and raising general quality of life.
