Many patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) develop severe weakness, so called ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW). This is a serious condition with both short- and long-term consequences for the patient. In this chapter, the current knowledge on pathophysiology is discussed. Furthermore, diagnostic criteria and important differential diagnostic considerations are summarized. Treatment options are currently very limited.
