Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Adult ICU patients
- Stable haemodynamic
- Who were able to perform commands from breathing exercises in their hospitals in the ICU (Glasgow Comma Scale 15) good communication and level of consciousness in order to be able to execute orders
- Have integers limbs
- Were tracheostomy (measurements in this case result from a special adapter in the tracheostomy that ensures minimization of losses)
- Their stay in the ICU should have been more than 11 days (the incidence of ICU muscle weakness occurs after 7 days of hospitalization19).
- In order to ensure the randomness of the sample, records of patients who were only hospitalized on an even bed number.
- All requirements for patient recruitment were solely for the day of the study
Exclusion
- They should not suffer from any neurological syndrome (central or peripheral type) other than the ICU acquired weakness, or even craniocerebral injury that could have an effect on the peripheral muscle strength.
- Without drugs that could affect perception or muscle tone
