Mr Rahman, 56 years old, came to the hospital with a complaint of severe pain in several joints, causing difficulties in walking and other daily activities. The patient said he had experienced a fever that lasted 2 to 3 days. After examination it was diagnosed as a case of post-chikungunya. Like Mr Rahman, many people are suffering from severe pain in different joints and muscles, especially after Chikungunya fever. Every day many of them are seeking relief from this obnoxious pain and discomfort in their lives.
Bangladesh’s intensive care units (ICUs) care has improved over time. Medical advances have improved ICU survival. However, critical illness survivors have significant morbidities that require Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation.
