dc.description.abstractPurposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on postural sway in subjects who have recently recovered from infection.Materials and methodsFifty-six female individuals with a mild to moderate history of SARS-CoV-2 (n = 25, mean age; 21.13 +/- 0.64 years) and healthy sedentary controls (n = 31, mean age; 20.09 +/- 1.05 years) were included in the study. Postural sway tests were performed in double and single-leg stance on a force plate with eyes open before and after the neuromuscular fatigue test. The Wingate test was used to induce neuromuscular fatigue. To evaluate the change of the variables determined by the measurements of the groups over time and the group-time interactions, a two-way analysis of variance in repeated measures (mixed design repeated measures ANOVA) was used.ResultsIt was found that the SARS-CoV-2 group showed increased total sway path, velocity, and area than those in the healthy group on double and single-leg (right-left) stance (p < 0.05).ConclusionsEven if SARS-CoV-2 group individuals have been reported in a mild to moderate outpatient COVID-19 process, they showed deterioration in postural control compared to healthy individuals. In addition, it was found that SARS-CoV-2 accelerated neuromuscular fatigue effects. This can cause more fatigue during activities than individuals who have not had SARS-CoV-2.
