Introduction: With scientific and technological advances, the survival of critically ill patients has increased over the years. However, some patients require prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), which can increase the length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and lead to ICU-acquired muscle weakness (ICUAW). There are several tools to diagnose ICUAW, however, most of them depend on patient collaboration, and often, due to sedation, this becomes unfeasible. Objective: To describe the ICUAW assessment instruments in critically ill patients. Methodology: A bibliographic search was carried out in PubMed, MedLine (International Literature and Health), LILACS (Latin America and the Caribbean in Health Sciences) and Cochrane databases between 1995 and December 2019 using the keywords: muscle weakness, muscle strength and intensive care unit. Conclusion: The assessment of muscle weakness is of great importance to verify the health status of critically ill patients admitted to the ICU and to guide them towards the most appropriate treatment plan. Thus, it is essential for the physical therapist to know the various instruments for assessing muscle weakness acquired in the ICU.
