In 2020, due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has become a pandemic. As of 11 August the cumulative number confirmed cases worldwide had reached 19 million, with 700,000 reported deaths, indicating this pandemic's significant global impact.We reviewed application rehabilitation therapy in clinical treatment COVID-19 patients. A systematic search was performed using PubMed, Springer, CNKI, and Wanfang Data database up 1 2020. The terms included English their Chinese equivalents: 'COVID-19,' 'ARDS,' 'rehabilitation,' 'critically ill patients,' 'physiotherapy,' 'respiratory rehabilitation,' 'traditional medicine,' 'psychotherapy.'Rehabilitation research concerning patients remains ongoing. Rehabilitation guidance for such is based on previous experience. However, as different have differing degrees dysfunction, personalized plans need be designed according patients' age, sex, lifestyle, hobbies, occupation, physical conditions. rapid development remote devices that can monitor real-time conditions post-discharge may encourage better adherence training.
