Summary
This study tests whether adding gentle electrical stimulation to the legs, alongside standard physical therapy, helps critically ill patients on breathing machines maintain or regain muscle strength. About 150 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to receive either physical therapy alone or physical therapy plus stimulation. The goal is to see if the extra stimulation reduces muscle weakness and speeds recovery.
