No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This observational study aims to assess the relationship between muscle strength and physical function in critical ill patients. Grip and quadriceps strengths are measured using a standardized protocol of dynamometry. Physical function is assessed using the validated ICU mobility scale.

Conditions

  • Critical Illness
  • Muscle Weakness
  • Physical Disability
  • Physical Dependence

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Quadriceps strength

Using a handheld dynamometer, in supine position in a standardized position of the dominant leg Measurement of the maximal isometric voluntary quadriceps contraction Measure expressed as Newton and Newton/kg

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Grip strength

Testing of dominant hand using a handgrip Measurement of the maximal isometric voluntary grip contraction Measure is expressed as kg

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

ICU mobility scale

Scoring the physical capacity of the patient on a 10-points validated scale: the ICU mobility scale
