Abstract
This study was conducted to analyse reaction time, psychomotor speed and concentration parameters in individuals who had previously been infected with COVID-19 and to compare these parameters with those of the control group. The study recruited 56 individuals previously diagnosed with COVID-19 with PCR and 56 healthy individuals. COVID-19-related information and sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were recorded. Light Trainer Exercises System (Model LTV2, Türkiye, 2017) was used for the evaluation of reaction time, while the d2 attention test was used for the evaluation of concentration performance. Psychomotor speed percentage (p<0.05) and achievement score percentage (p<0.05) of individuals who had COVID-19 were found to be statistically significantly lower than those of the control group. In terms of reaction time performance, when compared with the control group, upper extremity reaction time (p<0.001) and lower extremity reaction time (p<0.001) values were found to be statistically significantly longer in the COVID-19 group. The results showed that when compared with the control group with the same age group, the participants between the ages of 18 and 26 who had previously been infected with COVID-19 were negatively affected in terms of reaction time and psychomotor speed parameters.
