Abstract Purpose Postural sway and physical capacity had not previously been compared between people with long COVID and people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Therefore, this study determined postural sway and physical capacity in people with long COVID (∼16...

Many questionnaires used to measure depression ask about general symptoms such as fatigue, sleep, appetite, concentration etc. People with a chronic illness such as ME/CFS already have those symptoms and are thus more likely to score high on these depression questionnaires, even if they are not...
