The terminology regarding these neuromuscular alterations is confusing and terms such as critical illness polyneuropathy, critical illness myopathy, intensive care unit weakness or paralysis are often used interchangeably. Electrophysiological investigations of peripheral nerves and muscles are important to define the nature of the pathological process, to achieve a differential diagnosis and to predict long-term prognosis. Measurement of muscle strength using the Medical Research Council score or handgrip dynamometry is important to define the severity of muscle strength impairment and to predict short-term morbidity and hospital mortality. Intensive insulin treatment may reduce the severity of the syndrome; however, its safety is questioned. Early physical rehabilitation and occupational therapy associated with interruption of sedation may result in better outcomes
