Article Snippet: Rengo et al [ ] , NMES : biphasic rectangular pulses at 25 Hz, pulse duration 400 ms, duty cycle 10 s on and 30 s off to quadriceps muscle bilaterally. CG: no intervention , 1 times/d for 5 d/wk , 45 min , 4 wk , Physical function Mental and physical health , From discharge to 4-wk post-discharge: No significant interaction effect for total SPPB score ( P = 0.11; ηp = 0.073; CG: 2.89 ± 0.50 vs NMES: 4.11 ± 0.54 units). Time effects for 6MWT distance ( P < 0.01; ηp = 0.207; CG: 194 ± 18 vs NMES: 267 ± 16 m) and 6MWT power output ( P = 0.01; ηp = 0.168; CG: 0.4 ± 0.1 vs NMES: 0.6 ± 0.1 W; P = 0.01) , No complications.
Techniques: Comparison, Functional Assay, Concentration Assay, Activity Assay
