Overview

Study compares cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal function in post-COVID-19 patients, suggesting long-term impacts of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Key Points

  • Group 2 showed significantly lower handgrip strength and 6MWT distance compared to the other groups, indicating impaired physical performance.
  • Assessment measured via the 6-minute walk test and handgrip strength test across 111 post-COVID-19 patients, revealing physical limitations.
  • Group 2 had elevated heart rate and blood pressure after the 6MWT, highlighting further physiological effects of COVID-19 infection.
  • These findings point to potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal function, requiring further investigation.
