Resumo: | Introduction: Complications arising from hospitalization due to COVID-19 have great impact on the physical health of individuals. One of the consequences that deserves attention is muscle weakness, which can be influenced by several factors, generating consequences that may need rehabilitation. Objective: To relate the degree of peripheral and respiratory muscle strength to sociodemographic, clinical, and hospitalization variables close to discharge after hospitalization due to COVID-19. Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data for 52 patients hospitalized for COVID-19 who were interviewed close to discharge to determine sociodemographic and clinical profiles and underwent muscle strength testing. Peripheral muscle strength was evaluated using the Medical Research Council scale, and respiratory strength was determined according to maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure measured with a vacuometer. Hospitalization data were collected from patient medical records. Results: Peripheral strength was reduced in 53.9% of the sample, and the related variables (p < 0.05) were age, weight, cancer, high blood pressure, physical therapy, and number of physiotherapy sessions. Inspiratory force was reduced by 50% of individuals and expiratory force in 60% individuals, and these reductions were related (p < 0.05) to sex, high blood pressure, age, and weight. Conclusion: Close to COVID-19 hospital discharge, over 50% of patients exhibited peripheral and respiratory muscle weakness, associated with advanced age, hypertension, and low weight. Those with peripheral weakness received more physiotherapy and had more oncological diseases, while respiratory weakness was more common in men. This underscores the importance of preventive measures and post-hospitalization rehabilitation programs, including physiotherapy, for muscle strength recovery. |

Uma das consequências que merece atenção é a fraqueza muscular, que pode ser influenciada por diversos fatores, gerando consequências que podem necessitar de reabilitação. Objetivo: Relacionar o grau de força muscular periférica e respiratória com variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e de internação próximo à alta após internação por COVID-19. Métodos: Este estudo transversal analisou dados de 52 pacientes hospitalizados por COVID-19 que foram entrevistados próximo à alta para determinar perfis sociodemográficos e clínicos e foram submetidos a testes de força muscular. A força muscular periférica foi avaliada pela escala do Medical Research Council, e a força respiratória foi determinada de acordo com a pressão inspiratória e expiratória máxima medida com vacuômetro. Os dados de internação foram coletados dos prontuários dos pacientes. Resultados: A força periférica esteve reduzida em 53,9% da amostra e as variáveis relacionadas (p < 0,05) foram idade, peso, câncer, hipertensão, fisioterapia e número de sessões de fisioterapia. A força inspiratória foi reduzida em 50% dos indivíduos e a força expiratória em 60% dos indivíduos, e essas reduções foram relacionadas (p < 0,05) ao sexo, pressão arterial elevada, idade e peso. Conclusão: Próximo à alta hospitalar da COVID-19, mais de 50% dos pacientes apresentavam fraqueza muscular periférica e respiratória, associada à idade avançada, hipertensão e baixo peso. Aqueles com fraqueza periférica receberam mais fisioterapia e tiveram mais doenças oncológicas, enquanto a fraqueza respiratória foi mais comum em homens. Isto ressalta a importância de medidas preventivas e programas de reabilitação pós-hospitalização, incluindo fisioterapia, para recuperação da força muscular.Editora PUCPRESS2024-01-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/3106810.1590/fm.2024.37105Fisioterapia em Movimento (Physical Therapy in Movement); Vol. 37 (2024): n. cont.Fisioterapia em Movimento; v. 37 (2024): n. cont.1980-5918reponame:Fisioterapia em Movimentoinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)instacron:PUC_PRenghttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/article/view/31068/26464Copyright (c) 2024 PUCPRESSinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLopes, Lara Bourguignonde Souza, Gabriele Teixeira BrazBarbosa, Roberta Ribeiro Batista2024-01-29T15:36:32Zoai:ojs.periodicos.pucpr.br:article/31068Revistahttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisioPRIhttps://periodicos.pucpr.br/fisio/oairubia.farias@pucpr.br||revista.fisioterapia@pucpr.br1980-59180103-5150opendoar:2024-01-29T15:36:32Fisioterapia em Movimento - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná (PUC-PR)false |
