Clinical Trial 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.

Intervention

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
• Grip strength
Testing of dominant hand using a handgrip Measurement of the maximal isometric voluntary grip contraction Measure is expressed as kg
• ICU mobility scale
Scoring the physical capacity of the patient on a 10-points validated scale: the ICU mobility scale

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Quadriceps strength	Quadriceps maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry	as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
Primary	Handgrip strength	Grip maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry	as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
Primary	ICU mobility scale	Ranking the patient on the scale according to his/her physical capacity. ICU mobility scale is a 10 points scale: 0 means the patient is lying in bed, 10 means the patient is able to walk independently	as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
