Effects of Whole‐Body Electromyostimulation on the Thickness of Appendicular and Respiratory Muscles, Functionality, and Frailty in Patients From a Transitional Care Unit: A Randomized Clinical Trial Protocol

Puntos clave

• To investigate the effects of whole-body electromyostimulation on muscle thickness, functionality, and frailty in a transitional care setting.
• Conducted a randomized clinical trial.
• Participants were selected from a transitional care unit.
• Whole-body electromyostimulation was the primary intervention.
• Outcome measures included muscle thickness and assessments of functionality and frailty.
• Expected improvements in the thickness of appendicular and respiratory muscles.
• Anticipated enhancements in overall functionality of participants.
• Predicted reductions in frailty levels post-intervention.
