SUMMARY:

INTRODUCTION: Since December 2019, the world faces the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, popularly known as the new coronavirus. Infection by the new coronavirus originating from Covid-19, which is characterized as a disease with high power of dissemination and mortality. The symptoms and complications of the disease will determine the type of therapeutic support that will be offered to infected individuals. Mild infection cases are advised to carry out home isolation, while more severe cases require hospitalization. After hospital discharge, survivors
of Covid-19, especially those who required admission to the ICU, may present some sequelae resulting from the complications of viral infection. Understanding that the effects of coronavirus infection can affect several organ systems, in addition to respiratory function, such as the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system, it becomes relevant to investigate the musculoskeletal and vascular functional status in the period after coronavirus infection. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the peripheral muscle strength and vascular function of post-Covid-19 individuals who were hospitalized in the ward, ICU or in isolation at home after discharge and after 6 months. METHODOLOGY: This is an analytical, observational study, with a longitudinal and prospective temporality, since all participants will undergo an initial evaluation and a 6-month follow-up. Data collection will be divided into 4 stages, the first stage consists of conducting an interview with the participants to collect personal data and clinical history. Subsequently, the assessment of peripheral vascular function will be performed with peripheral vascular Doppler ultrasound, infrared thermography and ankle-brachial index. The third step consists of the evaluation of the musculoskeletal system to verify muscle strength with the MRC scale and digital manual dynamometer Microfet2, finally, the 6-minute walk test will be performed to assess functionality and tolerance to submaximal exercise. Statistical analysis will be performed using SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Science) version 20.0 for Windows and the significance level adopted will be α<0.05 for all analyses. To analyze the association between categorical variables and intergroup and intragroup quantitative variables, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analysis of variance for repeated measures (MANOVA) or the Friedman test will be performed, according to the type of sample distribution. Finally, the data obtained will be presented in tables and/or graphs.
