Chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity, and quality of life in parkinson’s patients who had COVID-19
Disease severity due to non-motor symptoms, abdominal respiration, peripheral muscle strength, daily step count and quality of life worsened in Parkinson's patients with COVID-19 history compared to those without COVID-19 history and these parameters should be therefore monitored regularly. Chest respiration and cough strength were preserved in these individuals.
