Brief summary

Acute worsening and long-term sequelae of motor and non-motor symptoms have also been described in Parkinson's patients during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection, also known as prolonged COVID. The effects on pain, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients with COVID-19 are still unclear today. For this reason, in our study, we aim to comparatively investigate pain, chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity levels and quality of life in Parkinson's patients with COVID-19 and without COVID-19 and to show the relationships between these outcome measures.

Interventions

In this research, the data of Parkinson's patients who have had and have not had COVID-19 will be collected face to face. Chest mobility, cough strength, muscle strength, physical activity and quality of life will be evaluated in all Parkinson's patients. The data to be obtained through all these evaluations will be collected from at one time and in a time lasting maximum of about 1 hour. Step count tracking with pedometer will be done for 3 days for each individual.
