Whole-Body Vibration Versus Neuro Muscular Electrical Stimulation on Patients With ICU Acquired Weakness

Purpose: to investigate the effect of Whole-body vibration versus neuro-muscular electrical stimulation on patients with intensive care-acquired weakness. Methods: Sixty patients with Intensive Care Unit-acquired weakness (ICU AW) from both genders will be recruited and randomly assigned into two groups, Group A and Group B. Group A will include 30 patients who will practice Whole body vibration for two weeks twice daily in addition to their plan of treatment. Group B will include 30 patients who will receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation for two weeks, twice daily, in addition to their plan of treatment. All patients will be evaluated pre- and post-treatment for the MRC score, creatine phosphokinase, and total muscle strength and skeletal muscle thickness
