This study is looking at how a combination of treatments can help older adults who have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) and are now experiencing muscle weakness (sarcopenia) and critical illness. The treatments include mobility-based physical rehabilitation (MRP), high protein supplements (HPRO), and neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES). Researchers want to see if these treatments can improve muscle mass and strength, and reduce inflammation. You may be eligible if you are 60 to 99 years old, had a long ICU stay, can follow commands in English, and were mobile before your ICU stay. The study aims to enroll 78 participants.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 78 participants aged 60-99 years old. The specific phase of the study is not mentioned.

What's involved

Participants will receive mobility-based physical rehabilitation five times a week, high whey protein shakes, and neuromuscular electric stimulation. Muscle mass, strength, and systemic inflammation will be measured at various times over 28 days.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Participants will be followed for changes in muscle mass, muscle strength, and systemic inflammation for up to 28 days.
