Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the results of physiotherapy in a patient with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The 48-year-old male patient with CIP due to COVID-19 was enrolled in a physiotherapy program for 3 months with 5 sessions/week. Pain intensity, motor skills, daily living activities, fatigue level, cognitive status, and decubitus ulcer were evaluated with a visual analogue scale, the Medical Research Council-Sum Score, the Functional Independence Scale, the Fatigue Severity Scale, the Standardized Mini-Mental Test, and pressure wound staging, respectively. Positive improvements were achieved in functional level, fatigue, pain, and pressure sores with the physiotherapy program for this patient with CIP due to COVID-19. This report provides an idea about the effects of physiotherapy programs for COVID-19-related CIP to academics and clinicians working in this field.
