Clinical Trial Summary

Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-acquired weakness) may be caused by a variety of different causes. Several studies have shown that ICU-acquired weakness occurs in up to 30% of critically ill patients. It affects daily activities, walking, and functional performance


Clinical Trial Description

Forty ICU-acquired weakness elderly patients will be randomly assigned to group A and group B, 20 elderly for each. Both groups will receive chest physiotherapy (cough training, vibration, percussion, rib springing, and postural drainage), 30 minutes of resisted training on upper- and lower-limb muscles (15 min on upper limb and 15 min on lower limb), and 30 minutes of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of lower- and upper-limb muscles (triceps and wrist extensors, dorsiflexors, and quadriceps). sessions will be executed 5 times weekly). Group A only will receive 3-set IMT (two sessions daily via threshold IMT, the set contain 10 repetitions) 5 times weekly. The study duration will be 1 month. ;
