The effects of whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) in comparison to a multimodal treatment concept in patients with non-specific chronic back pain-A prospective clinical intervention study. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2020
According to present guidelines, active exercise is one key component in the comprehensive treatment of nonspecific chronic back pain (NSCBP). Whole body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) is a safe, and time-effective training method, that may be effective in NSCBP-patients.In this prospective and controlled nonrandomized clinical study, two therapeutic ...

Effects of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation on Low Back Pain in People with Chronic Unspecific Dorsal Pain: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Patient Data from Randomized Controlled WB-EMS Trials. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2017
In order to evaluate the favorable effect of whole‐body electromyostimulation (WB‐EMS) on low back pain (LBP), an aspect which is frequently claimed by commercial providers, we performed a meta‐analysis of individual patient data. The analysis is based on five of our recently conducted randomized controlled WB‐EMS trials with adults 60 years+, all of ...

The Impact of Baseline Pain Intensity on the Effectiveness of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) for Nonspecific Chronic Back Pain. [PDF]

Cureus
Recent clinical studies confirmed that whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training is a safe and time-efficient therapeutic method for patients with nonspecific chronic back pain (NSCBP). However, significant variations in initial pain intensity among subjects in these studies have been observed.

Comparative Efficiency of Whole-Body Electromyostimulation and Resistance Training in Enhancing 1-Repetition Maximum [PDF]

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) combines full-body electrical muscle stimulation with instructor-assigned exercise. Electrical impulses are transmitted to the peripheral muscles through electrodes applied to the body.
