Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study investigates whether conventional physiotherapy plus EMS prevents muscle strength impairment more than physiotherapy alone.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcome is decrement in quadriceps strength (N/kg) on Day 15 versus Day 1.

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes are decrements in muscle strength grade determined by the manual muscle test (MMT) and in thickness of the rectus femoris muscle on Day 1, Day 8, and Day 15. The pre-hospitalization FIM score will be recorded on the day of hospital admission, and change in the FIM score on Day 15 compared with the prehospitalization value will be assessed

Interventions/Control_1

The intervention group will receive EMS as follows. Belt electrodes of the Auto Tens Pro (Homer Ion Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) will be placed around the abdomen, distal part of both thighs, and both ankles so that the entire lower limbs can be electrically stimulated. Once-daily 20-min stimulation (5-s stimulations at 20 Hz at 2-s intervals) will be delivered 5 days a week for 2 weeks. The electrical current value will be in the range of 2 to 15 mA. A total of 3 days will be used to determine the maximum electrical current value with an acceptable level of discomfort for each patient. A rehabilitation physician, one of the co-investigators, will supervise the 14-day intervention. On the same days as EMS, patients will receive conventional physiotherapy, as the control group will receive.

Interventions/Control_2

The control group will be treated solely using conventional physiotherapy over 14 days. Conventional physiotherapy comprises motor exercises and range of motion exercises.
