Background: Cognitive damage is observed in those hospitalized by COVID-19, which may be associated with hypoxia and sedation, but it is not established whether there is an association with postural control. Objective: To verify the correlation between cognition and postural control of individuals hospitalized by COVID-19. Design and setting: Prospective cohort study at a referral hospital for the treatment of severe cases by COVID-19. Method: The primary end point was cognition (10 CS) and the secondary end points with postural control (Brief Best Test), mobility (Time Up and Go - TUG) and muscular endurance and strength (time to sit and stand 5 times and 1 minute [min]). Data analysis was performed using the JASP software and a significance level of p<0.05 was adopted. For descriptive analysis, mean, standard deviation and frequency were used. Pearson’s coefficient test was used to analyze possible correlation between variables. Results: As preliminary results, 91 patients with average age (59.29 ± 11.37) years, 54.94% female and 45.05% male were evaluated. There was a weak negative correlation between 10CS and Brief (r = -0.270; p = 0.013), a strong positive correlation between 10CS and sitting and standing time 5 times (r = 0.404; p<0.001) and a negative correlation between 10CS and sitting test and raise 1 me. (r = -0.342; p = 0.002). There was no association between 10CS and TUG over 12.6 seconds. Conclusion: In patients who presented cognitive deficit after hospitalization due to COVID-19, an association with deficit in postural control, resistance and muscle strength was observed.
