Functional Magnetic Neuromuscular Stimulation vs. Routine Physiotherapy in the Critically Ill for Prevention of ICU Acquired Muscle Loss: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

: Muscle loss is a known complication of ICU admission. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of neuromuscular functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) on quadriceps muscle thickness in critically ill patients. : Among ICU patients one quadriceps was randomized to FMS (Tesla Stym, Iskra Medical, Ljubljana, Slovenia) stimulation and the other to control care.
