Muscles atrophy and weakness are common in intensive care units, their origin is multifactorial. Passive then active mobilization with cyclo-ergometer have shown to improve functional abilities and limit muscle weakness among intensive care unit patients. Electrical muscle stimulation should limit the atrophy and muscle weakness in intensive care unit associated with early mobilization. This study aims to compare the association early cyclo-ergometer mobilization with electrical muscle stimulation versus cyclo-ergometer mobilization only to prevent muscle atrophy and weakness in intensive care unit.

RECRUITINGChange of muscle mass of quadriceps assessed with ultrasonography
Muscle mass of quadriceps assessed by ultrasonography. The member who receives the cyclo-ergometer mobilization alone serves as a control for the member who receives the mobilization by cyclo-ergometer and electrical muscle stimulation
Time frame: at day 0, then every 7 days (+/- 2 days) until ICU discharge (at least 6 months)
Change of muscle strength of lower limb assessed by dynamometry
Muscle strength of lower limb assessed by dynamometry. The member who receives the cyclo-ergometer mobilization alone serves as a control for the member who receives the mobilization by cyclo-ergometer and electrical muscle stimulation
Time frame: at day 0, then every 7 days (+/- 2 days) until ICU discharge (at least 6 months)
Change of pedalling symmetry right/left
Assessed with the cyclo-ergometer associated pic torque
Time frame: at day 0, then every 7 days (+/- 2 days) until ICU discharge (at least 6 months)
Change of power variation of lower limb
Power variation of lower limb assessed with cyclo-ergometer
Time frame: at day 0, then every 7 days (+/- 2 days) until ICU discharge (at least 6 months)
Change of work variation of lower limb
Work variation of lower limb assessed with cyclo-ergometer
Time frame: Every cyclo-ergometer session, 5 days on 7 (at least 6 months)
