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

Type	Name	Description
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
