Acquired muscle weakness (AMF) is described by extreme muscle weakness, commonly presenting bilateral and symmetrical and without previous neuromuscular disorder. This condition is noticeable in patients who remain in hospital beds for long periods of immobilization, resulting in functional declines. Objective: To understand the factors that generate the picture of muscle weakness acquired in the intensive care unit, as well as to verify the applicability of therapeutic resources in the prevention and recovery of the functional capacity of inpatients in the intensive care unit. Methods: The work consists of an integrative literature review, carried out between the months of August and November 2020, a vast research was carried out in the main health databases, aiming at the theme to be discussed here. The databases used were: PUBMED, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Virtual Health Library (VHL). The Portuguese and English languages are considered, with publication limitations in the period between 2015 and 2020, in all periods. Results: The following effects of physiotherapy were observed: improvement in muscle strength, cardio-respiratory fitness and ability to walk; neuromuscular electrostimulation showed systemic effects. In addition, it is noted that the vibration of the entire body has a preventive character. Several authors agree with these findings. Conclusion: There was agreement, among the authors, regarding the positive effects of early mobilization, neuromuscular electrostimulation, motor and respiratory physiotherapy. Therefore, they presented themselves as effective methods to improve the functionality of patients in the hospitalization phase.
