“…Accordingly, the results of the present study revealed more profound fatigue among individuals with lower levels of physical activity. Fatigue by itself may justify the lack of exercise or physical activity (28), immobility, and a sedentary lifestyle, which can, in turn, lead to persistent fatigue. Physical exercise is believed to decrease fatigue and promote HRQoL, regardless of the exercise type.…”

Background: Long COVID is a major manifestation of long-lasting symptoms experienced by the survivors of the coronavirus infection that may influence patients’ physical and mental health. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association of the physical symptoms of COVID-19 (fatigue, breathlessness, and pain) and the level of physical activity with the physical and mental health of survivors in the post-COVID-19 period. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 152 hospitalized and non-hospitalized adults infected with COVID-19 aged between 18 and 65 years at the post-infection period with follow-up times greater than 6 months. Standardized instruments, such as the SF12, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), and visual analog scale (VAS), were used for measuring pre-and post-COVID-19 painful symptoms, fatigue, and breathlessness. The severity of the coronavirus infection was judged based on hospitalization or ICU admission. Data were analyzed with linear regression analysis. Results: The results showed that, at a mean duration of 6 months post-discharge, only fatigue was associated with lower physical (F = 2.84, explained variance = 15.3%) and mental health (F = 1.88, explained variance = 10.6%) Conclusions: Considering the negative impact of fatigue on the physical and mental health of patients during the post-COVID period, it is suggested to monitor and manage fatigue for a longer period post-COVID-19.

“…Further, self-management programs combining aerobic training, energy conservation management, and relapse prevention have been shown to improve social participation and functional endurance in patients with neuromuscular diseases and chronic fatigue [75,76]. Moreover, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can ameliorate experienced chronic fatigue in patients with neuromuscular diseases [77,78].…”

Background: SELENON(SEPN1)-related myopathy (SELENON-RM) is a rare congenital neuromuscular disease characterized by proximal and axial muscle weakness, spinal rigidity, scoliosis and respiratory impairment. No curative treatment options exist, but promising preclinical studies are ongoing. Currently, natural history data are lacking, while selection of appropriate clinical and functional outcome measures is needed to reach trial readiness. Objective: We aim to identify all Dutch and Dutch-speaking Belgian SELENON-RM patients, deep clinical phenotyping, trial readiness and optimization of clinical care. Methods: This cross-sectional, single-center, observational study comprised neurological examination, functional measurements including Motor Function Measurement 20/32 (MFM-20/32) and accelerometry, questionnaires, muscle ultrasound, respiratory function tests, electro- and echocardiography, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: Eleven patients with genetically confirmed SELENON-RM were included (20±13 (3–42) years, 73% male). Axial and proximal muscle weakness were most pronounced. The mean MFM-20/32 score was 71.2±15.1%, with domain 1 (standing and transfers) being most severely affected. Accelerometry showed a strong correlation with MFM-20/32. Questionnaires revealed impaired quality of life, pain and problematic fatigue. Muscle ultrasound showed symmetrically increased echogenicity in all muscles. Respiratory function, and particularly diaphragm function, was impaired in all patients, irrespective of the age. Cardiac assessment showed normal left ventricular systolic function in all patients but abnormal left ventricular global longitudinal strain in 43% of patients and QRS fragmentation in 80% . Further, 80% of patients showed decreased bone mineral density on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan and 55% of patients retrospectively experienced fragility long bone fractures. Conclusions: We recommend cardiorespiratory follow-up as a part of routine clinical care in all patients. Furthermore, we advise vitamin D supplementation and optimization of calcium intake to improve bone quality. We recommend management interventions to reduce pain and fatigue. For future clinical trials, we propose MFM-20/32, accelerometry and muscle ultrasound to capture disease severity and possibly disease progression.
