These results suggest that EMS is potentially useful for improving muscle neural activation and force output in locomotive syndrome.Įlderly people Electrical muscle stimulation Locomotive syndrome Vastus lateralis muscle.Ĭopyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

EMS increased locomotor assessment scores, which were accompanied by enhanced muscle strength, increased muscle thickness, and changes in muscle activation patterns in locomotive syndrome patients. However, these results were not sustained at 12 weeks. HAUSBELL Dual Channel 10 Modes EMS Reusable TENS Unit Pads Muscle Stimulator.

The locomotive syndrome assessment, muscle strength, muscle thickness, and muscle activity patterns in the intervention group were significantly different to control after 8 weeks (p < 0.05). PROGOO 2020 New 3-IN-1 Dual Channels TENS Unit FDA-Cleared Muscle Stimulator.

To understand the effects of EMS, the following measurements were made at baseline, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks: locomotive syndrome assessment score, knee extensor strength, vastus lateralis muscle activation patterns during a maximal isometric knee extension contraction using multi-channel surface electromyography, and muscle thickness.

Participants in the intervention group used a portable EMS device to stimulate the bilateral quadriceps muscles for 8 weeks (23 min/5 days/week). With this machine, tetanic muscles contraction and muscle fatigue recorded in short duration as the rate is 80 PPS.

Nineteen women were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n = 10 age = 71-82 years) and control group (n = 9 age = 70-84 years). The aim of the present study was to quantify the effect of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) intervention using a portable device on muscle strength and activation patterns in locomotive syndrome.
