Journal of rehabilitation medicine, 2010•europepmc.orgObjective It is known that patients in the intensive care unit show an enormous loss of
muscle mass. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is effective in enhancing strength and
endurance in immobilized patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of
neuromuscular electrical stimulation on muscle layer thickness of knee extensor muscles in
