The Possible Impact of COVID-19 on Respiratory Muscles Structure and Functions: A Literature Review

The impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on respiratory muscle functions is an important area recent enquiry. COVID-19 has effects the muscles. diaphragm perturbed indirectly due to mechanical-ventilation-induced-disuse, but also by direct mechanisms linked with viral infection. In this sense, a deeper understanding possible links between and alterations in structure muscles may increase success rate preventive supportive strategies. Ultrasound imaging alongside strength tests pulmonary function assessment are valid approaches screening monitoring disease, for mild severe patients. aim present review highlight current literature regarding functions. We examine from pathophysiological aspects up taken monitor rehabilitate diseased muscle. hope work will add greater pathophysiology disease management pathology subsequent
