Critical illness polyneuropathy

Researchers are checking whether tests of muscle strength, walking, balance, and fine motor skills give consistent results in people with polyneuropathy. About 520 adults with various forms of nerve damage, plus healthy volunteers, take part. Participants complete physical tests,…

This study looks at 25 ICU patients who were on breathing machines for at least 2 days. Researchers want to see if a physical test called CPAx, done when leaving the ICU, can predict how well they walk 3 months later. The goal is to help doctors plan better rehab for patients aft…

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 tha…

This study looks at how much energy critically ill patients on ventilators use during routine passive physiotherapy. By measuring oxygen consumption with a special device in the breathing tube, researchers hope to understand the physical demands of these exercises. The goal is to…

This study aims to find early biological markers that can predict muscle weakness in children who need a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. About 500 children will be observed to see who develops this condition. The goal is to create a warning system so doctors can int…

This study is developing an early warning model to predict ICU-acquired weakness in children who need mechanical ventilation. Researchers will track 1,500 children in the PICU, looking for biomarkers and other signs that could forecast muscle weakness. The goal is to move from di…
