Combined Effects of NMES and LIRT on Muscle Strength, Girth, and Physical Endurance in the Geriatric Population

8. juni 2026 opdateret af: Riphah International University

Combined Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Low-intensity Resistance Training on Muscle Strength, Girth, and Physical Endurance in Geriatric Population

This study will employ a randomized controlled trial design with a pre-post design to investigate the combined effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Low-Intensity Resistance Training (LIRT) on muscle strength, muscle girth, and physical endurance in the geriatric population. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

  • Informed Consent: Obtain informed consent from participants before starting the study.

    2. Demographic Data Collection: Collect demographic data, including age, sex, height, weight, and medical history.

    3. Muscle Strength Assessment: Measure muscle strength using a dynamometer (e.g., handgrip strength or knee extension strength).

    4. Muscle Girth Measurement: Measure muscle girth using a flexible measuring tape (e.g., mid-upper arm or thigh circumference).

    5. 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT): Conduct the 6MWT to assess physical endurance. Intervention

    1. NMES Sessions: Administer NMES sessions 2-3 times a week for 4-5 weeks.
    2. LIRT Sessions: Conduct LIRT exercises 2-3 times a week for 4-5weeks, targeting major muscle groups of upper and lower limb.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Prior to the initiation of resistance training, participants will receive 20 minutes of NMES targeting the gastrocnemius and calf muscles Frequency: 35 Hz Pulse duration: 300 µs

Following NMES, participants will undergo a 20-minute LIRT session comprising the following exercises:
Andet: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Prior to the initiation of resistance training, participants will receive 20 minutes of NMES targeting the gastrocnemius and calf muscles Frequency: 35 Hz Pulse duration: 300 µs

Following NMES, participants will undergo a 20-minute LIRT session comprising the following exercises:
Aktiv komparator: conventinal
5minutes cool-down will be given after allocated interventions to participants of both groups. Gentle foot massage and stretching relaxation will be included in cool-down.
Andet: lOW intensity resistance training

Seated Leg Press with Thera Band Resistance (Sole Support Position) Participants will be seated with a Thera Band looped around the soles of their feet and held in the hands to provide resistance during leg extension.

Repetitions: 10 Sets: 3 Rest Interval: 30-60 seconds between sets

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Manual muscle testing (MMT) for strength measurement
Tidsramme: baseline to 4 week
Muscle strength will be assessed using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) of the plantar flexors and knee extensors based on the Medical Research Council (MRC) 0-5 grading scale. Each muscle group will be tested twice on the dominant side, and the higher grade will be recorded. Participants with grades ≤3 will be classified as having low muscle strength, while those with grades ≥4 will be considered to have sufficient strength for participation in low-intensity resistance training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). MMT is a reliable and widely used clinical method for muscle strength assessment
baseline to 4 week
