Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1.Increased muscle strength of the lower limbs (LLL) after five days of application of Functional Electrostimulation (FES), evaluated by the load cell in kg, in the pre and post intervention measurements.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1. Increased muscle thickness of the vastus intermedia and bilateral femoral rectus muscle, after five days of application of Functional Electrostimulation (FES), verified by ultrasound examination.;Expected outcome 2. Increased peripheral blood flow after five days of application of Functional Electrostimulation (FES), verified by the test of the Bull's Brachial Index (ABI), from the observation of a variation of at least "0.90 to 1.40 mmHg in the pre- and post-intervention measures.;Expected outcome 3. Improvement in gait speed, after five days of application of Functional Electrostimulation (EEF), assessed using the 6-meter Speed Test (6m TV), in the performance of the pre and post-intervention course.;Expected outcome 4. Improvement in functional mobility, after five days of application of Functional Electrostimulation (EEF), assessed using the ICU Mobility Scale (EMU), in the immediate postoperative evaluation.—
