No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim of this proposal is to test the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in improving functional status and muscle function in patients receiving prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Conditions

  • Muscle Weakness

Interventions

DEVICE

Neuromuscular electrical Stimulation (NMES)

Electrical stimulation of lower extremities will be applied using an electrotherapy stimulator device (Vectra® Neo). The intensity of stimulation will be titrated based on maximal tolerable muscle contraction

DEVICE

Sham Stimulation

Sham stimulation of lower extremities will be applied using an electrotherapy stimulator device (Vectra® Neo).
