Comparison of quadriceps muscle strength, functional capacity and fatigue at hospital discharge and after 12 months in COVID-19 hospitalized patients undergoing early rehabilitation: a follow-up study

Quadriceps muscle strength and SPPB score improved 12 months after hospital discharge due to COVID-19. However, some individuals still present impairments. Moreover, quadriceps muscle strength at discharge explained functional capacity after 12 months. Thus, early rehabilitation is essential for functional improvement.

Abstract

Quadriceps muscle strength and SPPB score improved 12 months after hospital discharge due to COVID-19. However, some individuals still present impairments. Moreover, quadriceps muscle strength at discharge explained functional capacity after 12 months. Thus, early rehabilitation is essential for functional improvement.
