2020年9月18日 · Medical Research Council (MRC)-sumscore evaluates global muscle strength. Manual strength of six muscle groups (shoulder abduction, elbow flexion, wrist extension, hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle dorsiflexion) is evaluated on both sides using MRC scale. Summation of scores gives MRC-sumscore, ranging from 0 to 60.

Contribution and evolution of respiratory muscles function in …
2024年12月18日 · Interestingly, limb muscles function as evaluated by the MRC scale was lower in the complete weaning group as compared to the partial weaning and non survivor’s patients. In addition, the change in MRC score between admission and discharge was also higher in the complete weaning group as compared to their counterparts.
Manual muscle strength testing of critically ill patients: feasibility ...
2011年1月28日 · This condition is diagnosed on the basis of the average Medical Research Council (MRC) strength score combined for 12 specified muscle groups (the MRC sum score) being less than 48, indicating that average strength is limited to movement against gravity and partial resistance [6].
Electrical muscle stimulation prevents critical illness ...
2010年4月28日 · Difference in the MRC scale for muscle strength between patients assigned to the EMS group as compared with patients assigned to the control group (mean ± 2 standard errors). P = 0.04. EMS, electrical muscle stimulation; MRC, Medical Research Council.
Functional outcomes in ICU – what should we be using? - an ...
2015年12月1日 · The IMS is an 11-item categorical scale that rates the patient's highest level of mobility, where 0 = nothing and 10 = walking independently without a gait aid [17]. Although there is high inter-rater reliability for this measure in the ICU setting, there are no published data on other clinimetric properties (validity, responsiveness) [17].
