Fig. 3

HGS hand grip strength; PCS/non-ME/CFS post-COVID-19 syndrome/non-myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome; PCS/ME/CFS post-COVID-19 syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome; non-COVID ME/CFS non-COVID-19 myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome. HGS was assessed in PCS cohorts (PCS/non-ME/CFS n = 13, PCS/ME/CFS n = 14 for Fmax1 and Fmean1, n = 13 for Fmax2 and Fmean2) and non-COVID-ME/CFS (n = 13). Fmax1 and Fmean1 of ten pulls in female patients and repeat assessment after 60 min (Fmax2 and Fmean2 of ten pulls) are shown (median and IQR (interquartile range)). Cut-off values of AUC reference values for age-matched healthy females are displayed as dashed lines: <40 years black dots and narrower dashed lines; >40 years white dots and wider dashed lines. Data were analyzed with nonparametric all-pairs Dunn-type multiple contrast tests. The p values were adjusted for multiplicity across endpoints with the Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) correction. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
