U.S., Oct. 24 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07891273) titled 'Beyond Voluntary Effort: Reliability and Validity of Magnetic Femoral Nerve Stimulation for Assessing Quadriceps Strength in Critically Ill Patient' on Oct. 16.

Brief Summary: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) is a common complication of critical illness and can negatively affect recovery and long-term physical functioning. Early and reliable assessment of muscle strength is essential for detecting muscle weakness and monitoring changes during an intensive care unit (ICU) stay. However, conventional strength assessments, such as manual muscle testing, require voluntary muscle contractions, making them unsuitable for pat...
