Kamiue M, Tsubahara A, Ito T, Koike Y. Effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation on knee joint extensor strength in older persons receiving day services. Jpn J Compr Rehabil Sci 2024; 15: 49-57. Objective: To verify the effects of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) on knee joint extensor strength and motor ability in older adults receiving day services. Methods: . Results: MVC significantly increased in both lower limbs after the intervention (right/left: 72.4 ± 23.5 Nm/72.9 ± 23.0 Nm) compared with immediately before the intervention (right/left: 59.9 ± 17.2 Nm/64.5 ± 21.0 Nm). No significant changes were observed in MVC between one month before the intervention and immediately before the start of the intervention, and between the end of the intervention and one month after the end of the intervention. rPMS-induced torque, TUG, and CS-30 improved significantly after the intervention compared with immediately before the intervention. Conclusion: Intervention using rPMS increases MVC- and rPMS-induced torque and improves motor ability in older adults. Because rPMS is a simple means of increasing muscle strength, it is expected to be widely used in the future.
