Abstract
- Sarcopenic dysphagia is a complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This report describes the approach to rehabilitation in a 65-year-old man with sarcopenic dysphagia who contracted severe COVID-19 and underwent awake venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (vv-ECMO). He started active rehabilitation while receiving vv-ECMO and underwent a course of comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation lasting 115 days. The sarcopenic dysphagia improved, and he regained physical functional independence without any complications at hospital discharge.
