Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of EMS and conventional physical therapy on strength and muscle mass and development in adult patients with severe sepsis and septic shock.

Conditions

  • Polyneuropathies
  • Septic Shock
  • Muscle Weakness

Interventions

DEVICE

electrical muscle stimulation

electrical muscle stimulation: The parameters used in biceps were: 35 Hz, 250 μs and in quadriceps were: 50 Hz, 400 μs. In both, biphasic wave was used, 45 minutes of total work, 5 seconds of contraction and 10 seconds of relaxation and the intensity was adjusted to present a visible contraction

PROCEDURE

conventional physical therapy

conventional physical therapy according to the adaptation of the "Start to move" protocol of Gosselink et al
