It is surprising that a virus that affects airways can trigger neurological manifestations. The aim of this study was to create and apply specific questionnaires\/evaluations for post-COVID-19 patients to profile any neurofunctional sequelae.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924270823000029_as2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Epidemiological and psychomotor aspects as well as the intensity of cognitive, memory, attention, and concentration impairment were assessed. A total of 184 subjects post-COVID-19 and a control group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 30) were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924270823000029_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The most prevalent blood types in the COVID-19 group were the same as those from control group and in Brazilian population (no influence). Loss of smell\/taste and headache were the most common reported symptoms. Talking about psychomotor and neurofunctional aspects, COVID-19 induced marked impairments in the tests: fine motor development (diadochokinesis, puppets, fan, and knead paper); balance (immobility, static balance, feet in line, and persistence); episodic memory after distractors; verbal fluency; and clock, compared to the control group data. There was also marked increase of synkinesis. Therefore, COVID-19 induced impairments in psychomotor assessments and in different cognitive aspects of the Mini-Mental State Examination. These results are more surprising considering that most participants did not report pre-existing disease and did not require hospitalisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0924270823000029_as4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>COVID-19 induced psychomotor, neurofunctional, and memory impairments, including in young and healthy subjects.
