A rehabilitative program for patients who lose strength and muscle mass along with the ability to perform intensive exercises is lacking. We developed a 3-week training program based on neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) using a RSQ1 device (modulated current resulting from the overlapping of two-component currents) for RSQ1 electrostimulation to improve strength parameters of the quadricep femoris muscles and compare its effectiveness to isometric training. Nineteen university students were randomly divided into the NMES group (10 sessions) and the control group who trained. We measured the circumference of the thigh, as well as peak torques of the flexor and extensor muscles before and after the start and after the end of the training program. Both tested training programs gave similar results. Differences between measured parameters were not significant except for differences in the peak torques of the knee flexors (9.9% for left limb; = 0.2135 vs. 7.8% for rift limb; = 0.2135) and the circumference of the left thigh-2% for both (left = 0.5839 and right = 0.1088). Comparable results of the tested training programs suggest that NMES is a good alternative for people who cannot perform exercises, but want to maintain or improve their physical fitness.
缺乏针对因力量和肌肉质量下降而丧失进行高强度锻炼能力的患者的康复方案。我们基于神经肌肉电刺激（NMES）开发了一个 3 周的训练方案，使用 RSQ1 设备（由两个分量电流重叠产生的调制电流）进行 RSQ1 电刺激，以改善股四头肌的力量参数，并将其与等长训练的效果进行比较。19 名大学生被随机分为 NMES 组（10 次）和对照组，对照组进行训练。我们在训练计划开始前后以及结束后测量了大腿周长以及屈肌和伸肌的峰值扭矩。两个测试的训练方案都产生了相似的结果。除了左膝关节屈肌峰值扭矩的差异（9.9%， = 0.2135 与右膝 7.8%， = 0.2135）和左大腿周长的差异-2%（左 = 0.5839 右 = 0.1088）外，其他测量参数的差异均无统计学意义。测试的训练方案具有可比的结果表明，NMES 是无法进行锻炼但希望保持或提高身体适应性的人的良好选择。
