Abstract
The diagnosis of long COVID is troublesome, even when functional limitations are present. Dynapenia is the loss of muscle strength and power production that is not caused by neurologic or muscular diseases, being mostly associated with changes in neurologic function and/or the intrinsic...
Highlights
•
Does force failure result from sarcolemma fatigue in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis patients?
•
Two groups of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis patients with or not M wave alterations were compared.
•
Maximal handgrip strength and M wave in forearm muscle were simultaneously measured.
•...
Abstract
Background
Muscle fatigue and pain are key symptoms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Although the pathophysiology is not yet fully understood, there is ample evidence for hypoperfusion which may result in electrolyte imbalance and sodium overload in...

What is the central question of this study?
This study sought to investigate whether central and peripheral hemodynamics during handgrip exercise were different in young adults 3–4 weeks following infection with of SARS-CoV-2 compared with young healthy adults.

Abstract
Background
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and debilitating disease accompanied by muscular fatigue and pain. A functional measure to assess muscle fatigability of ME/CFS patients is, however, not established in clinical routine. The aim of this...
