Both cause so called intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired muscle weakness. This weakness of limb muscles increases morbidity and delay rehabilitation and recovery of walking ability.

However, it is likely that these 2 entities commonly coexist, with myopathy being the most common cause of weakness. Major risk factors for IC...
متن کاملIntensive care unit acquired weakness : measuring recovery from critical illness
Introduction Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common consequence of critical illness, affecting between 25% and 100% of critical care patients.1,2 ICU-AW is a syndrome encompassing myopathic, neuropathic and atrophic changes, which clinically presents as profound weakness. Its presence can hinder and dictate the course of recovery, leading to protracted weaning from mechanica...

This ICUAW evoked by critical illness can be due to axonal neuropathy, primary myopathy, or both. Underlying pathophysiologic...
