• 📄 Activation of Deep Lumbar Stabilizing Muscles by Transcutaneous Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

  This study evaluates the effect of transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the activation of deep lumbar stabilizing muscles including lumbar multifidus (LM), transverse abdominis (TrA), and obliquus internus (OI). Using real-time ultrasound imaging (RUSI), the study found that NMES applied to L4-L5 paraspinal regions significantly increased the thickness of these muscles, indicating successful activation. The findings support the use of NMES as a clinical tool for improving spinal stability in patients with low back pain or weak deep muscle activation.

• 📄 Triple-Target Treatment Versus Low-Frequency Electrostimulation for Anal Incontinence

  This randomized controlled trial demonstrated that Triple-Target Treatment (3T), which combines amplitude-modulated medium-frequency stimulation and EMG biofeedback, significantly outperforms low-frequency stimulation (LFS) in improving anal incontinence. After 6 months of treatment, 54% of patients in the 3T group regained continence, compared to 0% in the LFS group.

• 📄 5000 Hz TENS Provides Better Analgesia Than 100 Hz in Mice Muscle Pain Model

  This animal study compared the analgesic effects of 5 kHz vs. 100 Hz TENS in mice. Results showed that 5 kHz stimulation produced faster and more effective pain relief, despite similar cytokine responses, indicating potential for high-frequency TENS in pain management.

• 📄 Effects of EMS Training on Muscle Recovery and Fatigue in Professional Ice Hockey Players

  This study evaluated EMS application in elite athletes and found that it improved muscle recovery, reduced perceived fatigue, and preserved strength during periods of intense training. EMS was deemed a valuable tool for accelerating recovery in professional sports contexts.
