Summary
This study is testing whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) can help adults with neuromuscular diseases like ALS, muscular dystrophy, or myasthenia gravis exercise safely. Because these conditions make voluntary exercise difficult, WB-EMS uses electrical pulses to directly contract muscles. Up to 50 participants will do 20-minute sessions 1-2 times a week for 4-8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, nerve function, walking ability, fatigue, and quality of life.
