What is Effects of Different Electrical Stimulation Currents and Phase Durations on Submaximal and Maximum Torque, Efficiency, and Discomfort: a Randomized Crossover Trial about?
## Background: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (nmes) is an important therapeutic tool for rehabilitation. however, best stimulation parameters remain to be determined. ## Objective: To determine the influence of different electrical stimulation currents and phase durations on torque, efficiency, and discomfort. ## Methods: Using a cross-over design, khz frequency alternating currents (kfac) and pulsed currents (pc) with narrow (200 μs) or wide (500 μs) phase durations were randomly applied on knee extensor muscles of healthy participants with a minimum of seven days between sessions. the nmes-evoked torque, nmes-efficiency, and discomfort (visual 0-10 cm analogue scale) were measured for each stimulation intensity increments (10 ma). statistics were conducted using a three-way analysis of variances (phase duration x current x intensity), followed by tukey post-hoc. ## Results: Twenty-four males (age 22.3 ± 3.5years) were included. no effect of nmes current was observed for torque, efficiency, and discomfort. for wide phase durations (500 μs), torque significantly increased for all stimulation intensities. for narrow phase durations (200 μs) evoked torque significantly increas
