BACKGROUND AND AIM Hypoxia, dyspnea, and respiratory function abnormalities take place in patients following coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) due to pulmonary involvement. Moreover, abnormalities in skeletal and respiratory muscles negatively affect exercise capacity. In this study, exercise capacity, respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, pulmonary function, muscle oxygenation, and dyspnea were compared in patients with mild and moderate functional limitations who had post-COVID-19 syndrome. METHODS In this study, patients with moderate functional limitations with post-COVID-19 syndrome were included on the basis of the Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (PCFS) score 2 mild (n=15) and PCFS score 3 (n=20). Respiratory muscle strength (mouth pressure device), exercise capacity (6- min walk test [6-MWT)], pulmonary function (spirometry), peripheral muscle strength (dynamometer) and muscle oxygenation (Moxy® device), dyspnea during daily living activity [London Chest Activity of Daily Living Scale [LCADL)] were evaluated. RESULTS Patients with moderate functional limitations with post-COVID-19 syndrome had statisti - cally lower maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, 6-MWT distance, and pulmonary function parameters (peak expiratory flow, forced expiratory flow 25%–75%) when compared to those with mild functional limitations (p<0.05). Muscle oxygen saturation, quadriceps femoris muscle strength, LCADL total, and all sub-parameters scores were similar in both groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome with moderate functional limitations have less …
