It is worth noting however, that both these patient groups performed poorer in the Perdue pegboard test than healthy controls (P < .169 and d > 0.40 for pairwise comparisons).ConclusionsThese data suggest that both people with long COVID and people with ME/CFS have similarly impaired dexterity and bimanual coordination.
