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.

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quadriceps strength | Diagnostic Test | 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 | Diagnostic Test | Testing of dominant hand using a handgrip Measurement of the maximal isometric voluntary grip contraction Measure is expressed as kg | ||
| ICU mobility scale | Diagnostic Test | Scoring the physical capacity of the patient on a 10-points validated scale: the ICU mobility scale |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Quadriceps strength | Quadriceps maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry | as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge |
| Handgrip strength | Grip maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry | as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge |
| 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 |
