CHERO PISFIL, Santos Lucio; YAJAIRA DIAZ MAU, Aimeé  e  GUTIERREZ VICUNA, José Darío. Characteristics and correlation between distance traveled and hand grip strength in Peruvians who suffered from COVID 19. Medisur [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp. 527-532.  Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 1727-897X.

Background:

The world is still experiencing a major public health problem, Sars-Cov-2 causes the disease COVID-19, which mainly produces respiratory infections, with dyspnea, cough, fever and exercise intolerance; It leaves a range of deficiencies with short and long-term physical sequelae, affecting physical fitness and hand grip strength.

Objective:

determine characteristics, as well as the relationship between the distance traveled and the manual grip strength in patients who suffered from COVID-19.

Methods:

descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study, carried out at the Private Respiratory Rehabilitation Center, in Lima, between January and March 2021. 88 patients over 20 years of age, hemodynamically stable, with 30 days of evolution after discharge participated. They were evaluated with the 6-minute walk test (C6M) and grip strength measured with a Camry dynamometer.

Results:

la edad media fue 61,7±14,5. El grupo más afectado fue el mayor de 50 años. El sexo masculino, tiempo de internamiento en Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos e índice de masa corporal fueron factores influyentes en los pacientes que padecieron COVID-19. Se evidenció relación entre la distancia recorrida y la fuerza de agarre, p<0,05, rho=-0,236. La distancia recorrida fue de 504,44±56,30 y la fuerza de agarre 27,21±5,50.

Conclusions:

existe correlación entre la fuerza de agarre de mano baja y normal y la distancia recorrida en los pacientes que han padecido COVID-19.
