This research study is trying to understand why some people who have had long COVID experience problems with walking and balance. Researchers will test how thinking ability, sensation, and muscle function work together to affect your gait and balance. The study compares people who had COVID-19 but recovered fully with people who are experiencing long COVID symptoms.
Right now, doctors don't have a clear way to identify and treat walking and balance problems caused by long COVID. This study aims to fill that gap by understanding which specific problems—like thinking difficulties or sensation issues—contribute to these movement challenges, so better treatments can be developed.

If you join this study, you will complete a series of tests that measure how well your brain, senses, and muscles work together during activities like walking and standing. Some tests may ask you to think while you move (for example, counting backward while walking), while others test your balance in different conditions. The study involves comparing people with long COVID symptoms to people who recovered fully from COVID-19 to understand what's different.
