Brief Summary   COVID 19 is an infectious disease caused by novel corona virus.
Most people infected with COVID 19 virus will experience symptoms from mild to severe that can permanently detract from their quality of life.

There are various systemic factors such as inflammation, hypoxia, malnutrition and local muscle factors such as deconditioning causing extra pulmonary complications in patients with COVID 19.

If a bad case of COVID 19 or any illness keeps you in bed at home or at hospital for days or weeks, your muscle will also lose strength fast. Lying sick in bed for extended period can lead to muscle atrophy- weakening due to limited use.
Healthy people can lose approximately 1% to 1.5% of muscle strength per day with bed rest. Those who are sick may lose even more.

Identifying those patients who have reduced strength between 6 to 12 weeks from the day of testing positive, will allow early intervention targeted at improving quality of life and help them return to their work. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate Quadriceps muscle strength in patients recovered from COVID 19 illness.
