ABSTRACT
Background:After being released from the hospital, COVID-19 cases frequently report experiencing tiredness, dyspnea, muscle weakness, and mental agony. Method(s): The study involved 100 participants (both sexes, 30 to 50 years old) who had been COVID-19 for three to six months ago. A respiratory pressure meter was used to measure the highest possible inspiratory and expiratory pressures. A hand dynamometer was used to measure hand grip strength, while the Medical Outcomes Study Questionnaire Short Form 36 Health Survey was used to measure the quality of life (SF-36). Result(s): The results of Pearson correlation coefficients in post-Covid-19 cases showed a strong correlation between respiratory muscle strength and hand grip muscles. Additionally, respiratory muscle strength and hand grip strength had a significant impact on the quality of life of post-Covid-19 cases. (p <0.05). Conclusion(s): There was a correlation between the gripping power of the hands and the respiratory muscle strength in individuals who had undergone COVID-19 that in turn had effect on quality of life. This might aid in the efficient recovery of these patients. Copyright © 2022, Anka Publishers. All rights reserved.
