Hidden weakness: study investigates why hospital patients struggle to recover strength

NCT ID NCT07478367

Summary

This study aims to understand how often hospitalized patients outside intensive care units develop severe muscle and nerve weakness after serious illness. Researchers will follow 300 adult patients in Italian hospitals to measure their strength during and after hospitalization, and identify which patients are most at risk. The goal is to improve recognition of this often-overlooked condition so doctors can provide better rehabilitation and care.
