Introduction: In mechanically ventilated patients, nonvolitional assessment of quadriceps weakness using femoral-nerve stimulation (twitch force) while the leg rests on a right-angle trapezoid or dangles from the bed edge is impractical. Accordingly, we developed a knee-support apparatus for use in ventilated patients.
Methods: Ninety subjects (12 ventilated patients, 28 ambulatory patients, and 50 healthy subjects) were enrolled.
