Feasibility of Muscle Activity Assessment With Surface Electromyography During Bed Cycling Exercise In Intensive Care Unit Patients.

abstract：:Skeletal muscle cells are hypertrophied by mechanical stresses, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Two signaling pathways, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt to target of rapamycin (TOR) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) to extracellular signal-regulated kinase...
