BackgroundThere is limited information about the impact of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the musculardysfunction, despite the generalized weakness and fatigue that patients report after overcoming the acute phase ofthe infection. This study aimed to detect impaired muscle efficiency by evaluating delta efficiency (DE) in patients withCOVID-19 compared with subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischaemic heart disease (IHD),and control group (CG).
