Zap and pedal: can electric muscle stimulation speed COVID recovery?
NCT ID NCT04841746
Summary
This study tested a new physical therapy method for patients recovering from severe COVID-19. It compared standard cycling exercise to cycling combined with functional electrical stimulation (FES), which uses small electrical pulses to help muscles contract. The goal was to see if the FES combination helped patients become less sedentary and regain strength and mobility faster after being on a ventilator in intensive care.
