The association between handgrip strength and functional outcomes in long COVID-19

In a recent longitudinal study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Brazil investigated the potential association between dynapenia (loss of muscle strength and power) with functional outcomes in patients with long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They found that in patients with long COVID, low handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with worse functional outcomes. They further […]
