Effects of Treadmill Walking with Calf Electrical Muscle Stimulation on Lower Extremity Muscle Thickness and Muscle Activation in Healthy Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the effects of treadmill walking with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) on the muscle thickness and activation of the lower extremities.EMS has been widely used in rehabilitation settings to improve muscle function.However, its impact, when applied during gait training, remains unclear.METHODS: A total of 12 healthy adults were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 6), which performed treadmill walking with EMS applied to the calf
