Effect of Protein, Mobility Therapy and Electric Stimulation on Recovery in Older ICU Survivors (NCT05326633)
Effect of Protein, Mobility Therapy and Electric Stimulation on Recovery in Older Survivors of Critical Illness
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Older ICU survivors with ICU acquired weakness (ICUAW) are malnourished, sarcopenic, and functionally debilitated as a consequence of the high burden of comorbidities common in the elderly. To address the sequalae of critical illnesses, the investigators will perform a trial incorporating an intervention that combines mobility-based physical rehabilitation (MRP), high protein supplementation (HPRO), and neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES). The investigators will then assess both clinical and functional outcomes and determine the relationship of disability with systemic inflammation.
