- Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy: a major cause of muscle weakness and paralysis. (2011, background): “17 Individual MRC scores can be combined into a sum score, which yields an overall estimation of motor function.”
- Early exercise in critically ill patients enhances short-term functional recovery* (2009, background): “The frequency of clinical peripheral muscle weakness has been reported in 25% to 33% of patients mechanically ventilated for 4 to 7 days (9, 10), in 60% of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (11), and in 35% to 76% of septic patients (12–14) and has been linked with increased mortalit”
- Clinical review: intensive care unit acquired weakness (2015, background): “Reproducibility in critically ill patients was reported to be good [6, 59], but this was not confirmed by other studies [68, 69].”
- A framework for diagnosing and classifying intensive care unit-acquired weakness. (2009, methodology): “In reports of patients in the ICU (63) or recently discharged from the ICU (83), significant decrements in dynamometric measurements of grip strength were noted; in one of these reports, grip strength correlated with MRC scores and was independently predictive of hospital mortality, suggesting that ”
