APPLICABLE REMARKS
APPLICABLE REMARKS
- The findings of this study highlight the impact of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) on musculoskeletal performance, particularly hand grip strength, in physiotherapists. A significant reduction in left-hand grip strength was observed in individuals recovering from COVID-19, suggesting a possible compensatory overuse of the dominant hand during the post-acute phase. These results underscore the importance of incorporating bilateral strength assessments and targeted rehabilitation protocols into post-COVID recovery programs for healthcare professionals. Functional recovery appears feasible in commonly used muscle groups, but strength imbalances may persist. Physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists should consider evaluating grip strength and muscle symmetry as part of routine post-COVID functional assessments, even in young and active populations.
