## TL;DR

This paper discusses the rehabilitation of rare neurological complications from COVID-19 in health resort settings, emphasizing interdisciplinary care to improve patient outcomes.

## Contribution

The study presents three cases of rare neurological complications of COVID-19 and evaluates rehabilitation in health resorts.

## Key findings

- Rehabilitation in health resort settings can improve functionality and quality of life for patients with rare neurological complications of COVID-19.
- An interdisciplinary approach is crucial for managing disability and enhancing recovery outcomes in these patients.

## Abstract

There is increasing evidence of neurological involvement in patients with coronavirus disease. Reports of neurological manifestations include altered mental status, Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) and its forms, encephalopathy, psychosis, neurocognitive (dementia) syndrome, ischemic strokes, intracerebral hemorrhage, and acute transverse myelitis. We present three patients with rare neurological manifestations of the COVID-19 disease, with a special focus on rehabilitation in a health resort setting. Outcomes were evaluated based on neurological examination and the modified Barthel index. We highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to reduce disability and improve functionality and quality of life.
