结局指标
主要结局
Strength in upper and lower limbs
时间窗: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 8 days
The quadriceps and the hand-grip strength is assessed using a dynamometer with a standard protocol allowing three attempts on each side. During each measurement, patients were sitting with their shoulder adducted and elbow flexed to 90°. The maximum value achieved was used in the analyses. This is important in order to quantify the increase of strength Kg/cm2 The test 2-minute step in place is also going to be used for this purpose, counting the times the patients go up the right knees in two minutes.
