The musculoskeletal system is affected in over 40% of patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There is an increased need for post-acute rehabilitation after COVID-19, especially in elderly people with underlying health problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of an early and goal-orientated rehabilitation program using combined approaches, robotic medical devices together with other rehabilitation techniques and therapies, in elderly people after acute COVID-19. Ninety-one patients (62.64 ± 14.21 years) previously diagnosed with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection were admitted to the Medical Rehabilitation Clinical Hospital Baile Felix, Romania, for medical rehabilitation, but only six patients (85.33 ± 3.07 years) met the inclusion criteria and participated in the study. The rehabilitation treatment was complex, performed over 4 weeks, and included combined approaches: exercise therapy, robotic gait training, occupational therapy, and massages. Activity and participation evaluation were performed using the Barthel Index and Functional Independence Measure for activities of daily living (ADLs). Assessments were performed at admission and discharge from the rehabilitation clinic. Lokomat patients\' reports revealed that the patients had improved motor control (with one exception). The measurement of functional ability revealed an improvement in most cases. This study presents some of the first data on outcomes of COVID-19 patients\' musculoskeletal rehabilitation in our country. Early complex medical rehabilitation improved functional independence and autonomy in ADLs in very old patients, post-COVID-19.

UNASSIGNED: COVID-19 is among the most deleterious pandemics that the world has ever faced. It is known that SARS-CoV-2 engenders its effects by triggering a massive immune response identified as a \"cytokine storm,\" but the full extent of clinical manifestations of the disease is still not understood.
UNASSIGNED: We report the first case of a patient with COVID-19 infection who developed inflammatory (IL) aseptic arthropathy. The patient is a South Asian male of Indian origin residing in the United States.
UNASSIGNED: This case demonstrates the importance of remaining vigilant about the new and unique manners, in which COVID-19 may present itself. Providers should be aware of the possible development of IL arthropathy in patients with the disease.
