Study on ICU muscle weakness detection and monitoring
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study aims to find better ways to detect and track muscle weakness that can happen during an ICU stay. If you or your loved one is in the ICU, this research could help improve early diagnosis and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at how to improve muscle strength and function after a stay in the ICU for sepsis or acute respiratory failure. If you recover from the illness but your muscles become weak, this study may test an approach to help rebuild strength faster.
This study looks at blood and body chemistry (called metabolomics) to understand and possibly predict muscle weakness that can happen in the ICU after surgery. It may help researchers find better ways to prevent or monitor this problem.
This trial tests a wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to stimulate leg muscles, helping prevent muscle weakness in ICU patients with severe infections. It may help you recover strength faster and avoid long-term disability.
This study uses ultrasound and electrical impedance (skin electrodes) to track fluid balance in the muscles and tissues of ICU patients. It aims to see if these tools can help doctors better manage fluids during your stay.
This trial looks at how well your heart and lungs work together after a long stay in the ICU on a breathing machine. It uses a simple exercise test to check your recovery after leaving the hospital.
This study checks how reliably different physical therapists can measure muscles and nerves using ultrasound in patients who are awake and stable in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve muscle assessment techniques for critically ill adults.
