Summary

Muscle contractions induced by calf low-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation (C-LI-NMES) can increase venous return and may reduce venous thromboembolism. This study aimed to compare the effect of different C-LI-NMES frequencies and plateau times on hemodynamics, discomfort and energy efficiency, when applied via sock-integrated transverse textile electrodes.

Conditions

  • Hemodynamic Instability
  • Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Chattanooga Physio, DJO, neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was applied with a device called Chattanooga Physio (DJO), testing 10 different combinations of parameter-settings. The parameter-settings that were varied and combined were frequency (1Hz and 36Hz) and plateau times (0.5s, 1.5s, 3s, 5s, 7s). The NMES was applied to the calf of the participants via transversally placed textile electrodes (3x3 cm) integrated in a sock starting with very low current amplitude followed by gradual small increases in current amplitude until induction of ankle plantar flexion, at which time-point the outcomes where measured.
