Persistent symptoms are common after acute COVID-19, often referred to as long COVID. Long COVID may affect the ability to perform activities of daily living, including work. Long COVID occurs more frequently in those with severe acute COVID-19. This guidance statement reviews the pathophysiology of severe acute COVID-19 and long COVID and provides pragmatic approaches to long COVID symptoms, syndromes, and conditions in the occupational setting. Disability laws and workers' compensation are also addressed.

<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Enormous assistance is required during rehabilitation activities, which might result in a variety of complications if performed manually. To solve this issue, several solutions in the form of assistive devices have been presented recently. Another issue highlighted is the lack of kinematic compatibility in low degrees-of-freedom (dof) systems. The proposed approach of developing a human-motion-oriented rehabilitation device deals with the problem through hybrid architectures. A novel modular synthesis approach is used for the purpose to induce generality in the design process.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>Using a modular strategy, three planar hybrid configurations are generated for two-dof mechanisms for supporting flexion/extension motion. Three such architectures are optimally synthesised and kinematically analysed over the entire workspace. A Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to synthesise the architecture parameters optimally. Moreover, the outcomes are evaluated against a set of seven poses and posture locations of the wrist to choose the most suitable configuration among the others. Subsequently, kinematic compatibility is analysed for the coupled system - formed by the selected architecture and the human arm - while wearing the proposed mechanism.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>According to the findings of optimal synthesis, workspace and singularity analysis, configuration-III is capable of achieving the optimal postures for all task space locations (TSLs). Further, the work modifies the design by attaching additional three revolute passive joints for correcting misalignment concerns using coupled mobility analysis.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The modular strategy for hybrid architectures and the subsequent mobility analysis provides an algorithmic framework for synthesising a task-based rehabilitation device.IMPLICATIONS OF REHABILITATIONManual physiotherapy is reported as repeated task, expensive and time-consuming, and considered stressful for the therapist or assistants to provide one-on-one physiotherapy to each patient in the traditional method. Robotic rehabilitation is, therefore, a viable option.In the several reported works on robotic rehabilitation exoskeletons, misalignment of the exoskeleton and the human motion is considered an open challenge. Normally, it is being managed through large number of degrees of freedom, which is certainly expensive and complex in control. The proposed approach of developing a human-motion-oriented rehabilitation device deals with the problem through hybrid architectures and modular strategy to develop them.While focusing upon the emulation of natural human motion trajectory, the compatibility of orthotic joint and human joint motion needs attention.

Objectives: The aims of the study are to describe the current state, identify topics of importance, and suggest implementation strategies for tailored nutrition education for the WLFFs.
Methods: Focus groups were conducted and survey data was collected to gather qualitative and quantitative data from a sample of WLFFs. Constant comparative strategy was used to generate themes from transcripts.
Results: Wildland firefighters showed interest in early-introduced, multimodal, and specific nutrition education tailored to the demands of the WLFF.
Conclusions: Study findings provide nutrition topics of interest and importance to WLFFs and may be used to develop educational materials.
