Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main outcome is the mobility ability. The measurement is performed at ICU admission and discharge, and before hospital discharge. Difference in the mobility ability between patients with neuromuscular electrical stimulation and those without historical control. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome is the muscle strength and activity of daily living. The measurement is performed at ICU admission and discharge, and before hospital discharge. Difference in the muscle strength and activity of daily living between patients with neuromuscular electrical stimulation and those without historical control. | — |
