The maximal inspiratory pressure or negative inspiratory force values is a parameter that measures the functional ability of the respiratory system. The ability to reduce the risk of atelectasis, effective coughing and mobilization of airway secretions is directly proportional to the magnitude of this value. Grip strength is a parameter that noninvasively assesses functional status in critical care patients.Respiratory muscles work in a complex interaction with peripheral muscles. This dynamic relationship has been described in many populations.The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between maximum inspiratory pressure and grip strength and physical functional status in mechanical ventilator patients.
