Effects of COVID on Parkinson

Details and patient eligibility

About

To comparative pain intensity, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients with post-COVID-19 and without post-COVID-19 was aimed in current study. Knowledge in the literature regarding this topic is still obscure.

Full description

Acute worsening and long-term sequelae of motor and non-motor symptoms have also been described in Parkinson's patients during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection, which is also known as prolonged COVID. The effects of COVID-19 on pain, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients are still unclear today. For this reason, in this study, it was aimed to comparatively investigate pain, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients with COVID-19 and without COVID-19 and to show the relationships between these outcome measures.
