Fatigue is a subjective symptom without objective biomarkers, which makes recognizing and treating fatigue challenging. However given its impact on quality of life, fatigue is an important symptom to address. We will review the characteristics of fatigue seen in three separate diagnoses and review treatment plans appropriate for each. We will be discussing 1. traumatic and acquired brain injury, 2. Acute COVID and COVID long-haulers, and 3. Chronic fatigue syndrome.

Learning Objectives:

Take an adequate clinical history from patients with acute and chronic fatigue
Describe the pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome
Create evidence-based rehabilitation plans for patients with fatigue
