Background: Ultrasonography has been used to identify structural, quantitative, and qualitative muscle changes. These changes have been assessed in different muscles during ICU stays; however, it is unclear if it can predict functioning after ICU discharge.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between muscle changes assessed by ultrasonography and the strength and functioning of ICU survivors.
