First seen May 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a tool called the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment tool (CPAx) can accurately track recovery in 120 adults who developed muscle weakness after being on a breathing machine in the ICU. The goal is to find the smallest meaningful improvement that matters to patients. This will help doctors and researchers design better treatments for ICU-related muscle weakness in the future.
