Zap vs pedal: electrical muscle stimulation takes on traditional cycling for COPD relief
NCT ID NCT02656667
Summary
This study tested whether electrical stimulation of leg muscles works as well as stationary cycling for people with severe COPD during pulmonary rehabilitation. Researchers compared these two exercise methods in 102 patients with advanced COPD over 3-4 weeks. The goal was to see which approach better improves leg strength, exercise capacity, and breathing difficulty.
