TCEMS
Patients who will receive transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation
Transcutaneous electrical muscle stimulation
On the first hospitalization day patients received lower extremity TCEMS. We used GymnaUniphy device (GymnaUniphy N.V., 2004, 3740 Bilzen, Belgium) with four surface patch electrodes applied over each lower extremity quadriceps muscle. Patients were in the supine position and were advised to relax during sessions. A prespecified program for lower extremity strength training in sessions of 25 minutes, twice a day (first training in the morning, second in the afternoon, with minimal time difference of 6 hours) was performed six days per week during the hospitalization.
