Coronavirus disease-2019 , caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), is known for being a life-threatening respiratory illnesses, but there is increasing evidence of neurological manifestations. 1 Herein we report a patient with COVID-19-associated inflammatory myopathy who presented with facial, bulbar, and proximal limb weakness.A 58-year-old woman presented with cough, dyspnea, and myalgia.Vital signs were stable and her physical examination was unremarkable. Initial polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for SARS-CoV-2 was negative and the patient was discharged home. She returned 3 weeks
In this review, we present an overview of the role of exercise in neuromuscular disease (NMD). We demonstrate that despite the different pathologies in NMDs, exercise is beneficial, whether aerobic/endurance or strength/resistive training, and we explore whether this benefit has a similar mechanism to that of healthy subjects. We discuss further areas for study, incorporating imaginative and novel approaches to training and its assessment in NMD. We conclude by suggesting ways to improve future trials by avoiding previous methodological flaws and drawbacks in this field.
