Abstract Critical illness survivors commonly face impairments, such as intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) which is characterized by muscle weakness and sensory deficits. Despite these symptoms indicating potential balance deficits, systematic investigations and validated assessments are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess balance function using the Mini-BESTest, evaluate its psychometric properties, and identify associated variables.
Analysis will be performed with the support of the Institute for Medical Information Processing, Biometry, and Epidemiology of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Categorical or dichotomous outcomes will be presented as absolute numbers and percentages. Descriptive outcomes will be reported as median with IQR or mean with SD.
