Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the correlation between peripheral muscle strength and functional mobility during critical moments in ICU patients.
  • Evaluated correlations between handgrip strength and Perme mobility score at extubation and ICU discharge.
  • Conducted assessments of muscle strength and functionality in mechanically ventilated patients.
  • Used standardized measures for muscle strength and mobility.
  • Identified a significant relationship between handgrip strength and mobility scores.
  • Noted that greater peripheral muscle strength correlates with better mobility during extubation and ICU discharge.

Abstract

Introduction: Muscle weakness acquired in the intensive care unit (ICU) (ICU-AW) is associated with worse clinical outcomes and prolonged functional recovery. Although handgrip strength (HS) and Perme mobility score (PE) are widely used, the relationship between peripheral strength and functionality at critical moments such as extubation and ICU discharge is still poorly explored. The objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between handgrip strength, global muscle strength and functionality (Perme) in extubation and ICU discharge.
