Effects of Whole‐Body Electromyostimulation on the Thickness of Appendicular and Respiratory Muscles, Functionality, and Frailty in Patients From a Transitional Care Unit: A Randomized Clinical Trial Protocol [PDF]
Physiotherapy Research International, Volume 31, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Background Frailty is highly prevalent among recently hospitalized adults and is associated with functional decline, dependency, and increased mortality. Although conventional physiotherapy is routinely applied in transitional care settings, its effectiveness may be limited in frail individuals with low tolerance to exercise.

Incomplete Muscle Activation After Training With Electromyostimulation
Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 1998 Training with voluntary or electromyostimulation (EMS)-evoked eccentric contractions should produce complete muscle activation, since EMS and eccentric contractions preferentially recruit large motor units.
