Survivorship after critical illness is an increasingly important health-care concern as ICU use
continues to increase while ICU mortality is decreasing. Survivors of critical illness …

There has been increasing interest and research into sarcopenia in community-dwelling
older adults since the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) …

Bed rest, a ground-based spaceflight analog, induces robust atrophy of skeletal muscle, an
effect that is exacerbated with increasing age. We examined the effect of 14 days of bed rest …

Within the current paradigm of the myonuclear domain theory, it is postulated that a linear
relationship exists between muscle fibre size and myonuclear content. The myonuclear …

Objectives: As the catabolic state induced by septic shock together with the physical
inactivity of patients lead to the rapid loss of muscle mass and impaired function, the …

The clinical success of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for neuromuscular
rehabilitation is greatly compromised by the poor consideration of different physiological and …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of the additional use of early neuromuscular electrical
stimulation (NMES) on an early mobilization (EM) protocol. DESIGN: Randomized controlled …

One aspect of skeletal muscle memory is the ability of a previously trained muscle to
hypertrophy more rapidly following a period of detraining. Although the molecular basis of …

Purpose: In response to requests from physiotherapists for guidance on optimal stimulation
of muscle using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), a review, synthesis, and …

Objective The early use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to prevent intensive
care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critical patients is still a controversial topic. We …
