Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 4 Comparison of outcomes within and between groups through time. Ankles, ankle strength; kg, kilograms; GNMe, gastrocnemius muscle endurance; iEMG, integrated electromyography unit; MFS, Morse Fall Risk Scale. (A) Comparison of Ankles, and (B) GNMe within and between groups at 3 days from baseline. (C) Comparison of GNMe within and between groups at 9 days from baseline. (D) Comparison of MFS within and between groups at the time of intensive care unit (ICU) discharge (18.00 ± 10.19 days) from baseline; severity is proportional to high score. P-value and Cohen’s d effect size are noted from time group interaction at each determined time point.
Article Snippet: Equipment for muscular assessment and data analysis Surface Electromyography (sEMG, Delsys Trigno Wireless EMG System, MA, USA) was recorded bilaterally from the proximal lateral GNM (Figure 1) according to the Surface Electromyography for a Non-Invasive Assessment of Muscles (SENIAM) guidelines (28).
