Protein Supplementation and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Persons With SCI

NCT05249985 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to explore how body composition, circulating markers of metabolic health and skin integrity in persons with a spinal cord injury (SCI) are affected by 12 weeks of quadriceps neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) resistance training. The novel element of this study is that one group will be given additional daily protein supplementation in addition to the NMES training (treatment group), whereas the other group will only perform the NMES training (control group). The investigators hypothesise that NMES in combination with protein results in larger improvements in the aforementioned outcomes compared with NMES alone.
