  • Objective biomarkers for assessing symptom severity and disease progression in PCS are currently lacking.
  • The study seeks to explore the relationship between muscle function and overall symptom burden.
  • Neuroaxonal injury markers may be linked to the severity of symptoms in individuals with PCS.
