    The aging population requires that physical therapy students have adequate knowledge about caring for older adults. To this end, universities have included extension activities in their curricula, dedicated to providing physical therapy interventions for older adults. However, social isolation during the pandemic of COVID-19, induced the undergraduate program to replace their presential teaching activities with digital modes. In this context, telerehabilitation became the alternative for maintaining physical therapy intervention for older patients in social isolation and for maintaining academic activities. The aim of this study is to report the experiences of three Physical Therapy students during the tele-rehabilitation of an elderly couple and, at the same time, to analyze the effectiveness of the teaching strategy for the training of physical therapy professionals. The phases of the course proposed by the university professors were reported, which included assessment and telerehabilitation, as well as discussion of clinical cases with the other students. Overall, the patients showed clinical improvements and the skills and knowledge proposed during the semester were fully and partially achieved. We conclude that telerehabilitation as an option for curricular practice activities provided an effective way to address the learning gaps caused by the pandemic.

    Chikungunya fever is characterized by intense polyarthralgia, which affects large and small joints symmetrically, and lasts for long periods. Faced with this it is believed that physiotherapy plays an indispensable role in improving this condition. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of a physical therapy program on quality of life, palmar grip strength and pain in a patient with polyarthralgia after Chikungunya virus infection. The number of pain sites and the pain intensity was evaluated by the Visual Analogue Scale, palmar grip strength by manual dynamometry and quality of life were evaluated by the SF-36 questionnaire. The treatment consisted of 9 sessions, twice a week, lasting one hour. The protocol involved electrotherapy, manual therapy and kinesiotherapy. Male patient with clinical diagnosis of Chikungunya fever and back and neck pain prior to infection. The pain sites were initially numbered 11, and the pain classified as intense (VAS=9). After the intervention there was reduction to 4 painful sites, of which half were pre-existing viral infection, and the pain was classified as moderate (VAS=7). Palmar grip strength increased from 6.04 Kgf to 24.64 Kgf on the right hand and from 24.79 Kgf to 29.63 Kgf on the left. The SF-36 mean increased from 17.43 to 54.68. The proposed physiotherapeutic treatment reduced the number of pain sites, improved palmar grip strength and patient quality of life.
