Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 1 Study setup: electrical stimulation device, plugs and pads, and surface electromyography sensors. Participants received electrical stimulation through electrode adhesive pads placed on both proximal and distal gastrocnemius muscles using a bio-electric stimulation technology R⃝

Figure Lengend Snippet: FIGURE 2 A typical case comparison between a maximum voluntary contraction and involuntary contraction of the gastrocnemius muscle assessed via surface electromyogram. (A) Three 5–10 s dorsiflexion maximum voluntary contractions. (B) Three 5–10 s intervals of electrical stimulation set at 50 V. Both panels having a 5–10 s relaxation period between contractions.

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.
