NCT ID NCT06296381

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study looks at how to measure muscle strength in healthy adults and patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Muscle strength is linked to overall health and survival, but there are no standard reference values for the Brazilian population. Researchers will use handheld devices to measure strength and create specific guidelines for men, women, healthy people, and ICU patients. The goal is to make muscle strength testing more reliable for clinical use.
