U.S., June 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07032870) titled 'Physical Therapist Inter-Rater Reliability in Neuro-Muscle Ultrasound in Critically Ill ICU Patients' on June 11.
Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility and inter-rater reliability of muscle and peripheral nerve ultrasound for the early detection of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critically ill patients.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can ICU physical therapists consistently measure muscle and nerve ultrasound variables such as muscle thickness, cross-sectional area, pennation angle, and echogenicity in critically ill patients?
Do clinical scales (MRC-SS and FSS-ICU) show ...
