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
Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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). |
