Overview
Brief 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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Quadriceps strength
Time Frame: as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
Quadriceps maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry
Handgrip strength
Time Frame: as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
Grip maximal isometric strength measured using dynamometry
ICU mobility scale
Time Frame: as soon as collaborative during ICU stay and up to 1 month following ICU discharge
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
