Abstract Background Sepsis-induced myopathy (SIM)significantly contributes to long-term disability and mortality among sepsis survivors. A comprehensive understanding of both the molecular mechanisms and rehabilitation strategies is crucial for effective management. Methods A review of pertinent studies was conducted, focusing on the molecular pathogenesis, therapeutic strategies, and rehabilitation interventions for SIM, with particular attention to clinical and translational advancements. Results Current management strategies encompass infection control, modulation of inflammation, nutritional support, and structured rehabilitation programs, including early mobilization and physiotherapy. Emerging therapies that target inflammation, cellular protection, and regeneration – such as stem cell therapy and gene-editing techniques – demonstrate potential. Furthermore, advancements in personalized medicine, including genomics, transcriptomics, and individualized metabolic interventions, may further improve outcomes. Conclusions Optimizing both mechanistic and rehabilitation strategies is essential for enhancing functional recovery and quality of life in patients with SIM. An integrated clinical and molecular approach presents the most promising path forward. Keywords: sepsis-induced myopathy, sepsis.
