Physical impairment after critical illness, as mental and cognitive impairment, is a major contributor to postintensive care syndrome. Clinical trials investigating long-term outcomes of ICU survivors indicate that recovery of physical function to perform activities of daily living may take several months to even years. The physical impairment seen in ICU survivors, diffuse limb weakness syndrome caused by critical illness during the ICU stay, is called ICU-acquired weakness, which is associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation, and increased mortality. The pathophysiology of ICU-acquired weakness is polyneuropathy and/or myopathy, but the exact mechanisms, risk factors and preventive measures are yet to be fully understood.
