ABSTRACT

Introduction: The new coronavirus pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, is considered as the highest sanitary challenge that has happened in the world, researchers describe some aspects to take into consideration, about the effect that has COVID-19, in elderly people.
Objective: To evaluate the handgrip strength in the dominant hand in convalescent patients of COVID-19.
Methods: A descriptive, cross sectional study was carried out in 35 patients who belonged to a social protecting center, who suffered from COVID-19, from May to June, 2020. The variables under study were: age, sex, nutritional evaluation, handgrip strength in dominant hand. For the processing of the results summary measures for the qualitative variables were used. (Absolute numbers and percentages) and for quantitative variables (media and standard deviation).
Results: The mean age of the studied population was 63.0 years old, the male sex and the patients of 60 years old or more prevailed with a percentage of 97.1 %, compared with the female sex that was of a 2.9 %. The right hand prevailed as the dominant one, where the handgrip strebght was of 21.7±7.3 Kg and in relation to the sex men had higher strength tan women 22.1±7.2Kg; the value of muscular strength, in the dominant hand was of 21.3±7.4 kg.
Conclusions: There is a state of dinapenia, in patients, after they had been suffered from COVID- 19.
