Shake or zap? new study tests ways to rebuild ICU Patients' strength
NCT ID NCT07336810
Summary
This study is testing two different physical therapy methods to help patients regain muscle strength after becoming weak from a long stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). Sixty adult ICU patients with significant weakness will be randomly assigned to receive either whole-body vibration therapy or neuromuscular electrical stimulation, twice daily for two weeks, in addition to their regular care. Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, thickness, and blood markers to see which approach works better.
