Figure Lengend Snippet: Lung function (spirometry), Vascular function (resting blood pressure), skeletal muscle function (near infrared spectroscopy), microvascular function (near infrared spectroscopy), autonomic function (heart rate recovery) and physical activity (self‐reported and actigraphy) confounder adjusted (age, sex, ethnicity, & BMI) results for healthy control participants versus long COVID cases.

Article Snippet: Participants were fitted with a wrist‐worn actigraphy monitor (Actiwatch Spectrum Plus, Philips, The Netherlands) on their nondominant wrist for 7 days following their clinic visit.

Techniques: Spectroscopy, Activity Assay, Control

Figure Lengend Snippet: Neuro-PASC patient flow diagram. A total of 40 patients were consented, of these 39 contributed NIH Toolbox data, 39 contributed questionnaire data, and 38 contributed actigraphy data (two subjects were excluded due to insufficient wear time). Solid line indicates measures conducted at clinic visits and dashed line indicates measures collected at home starting immediately after the clinic visit.

Article Snippet: Prior to leaving the clinic, participants were instructed to wear the wrist actigraphy monitor (Actiwatch Spectrum Plus, Philips Respironics) on their nondominant wrist free of binding sleeves and jewelry and to press the marker when initiating sleep and at waking, and to complete a daily sleep diary (Sleep Foundation Sleep Diary [ ]) for 7 consecutive days.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Example Actograms from Neuro-PASC patients, including two participants with high PROMIS fatigue and sleep scores and poor sleep based on actigraphy. The participant in the left panel (A) has poor sleep continuity, while the participant in image (B) takes more than 30 minutes to fall asleep. Black line indicates activity level, yellow line indicates light level, small blue triangles indicate participant marker usage for initiation or termination of the rest/sleep period, light and medium blue indicate rest and sleep intervals, and dark blue indicates device removed.
