The Improvement in Quality of Life and Core Muscle Strength in Elderly Patients by Simultaneous Application of HIFEM with Synchronized Radiofrequency

Deconditioning of the core muscles, including the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles (PFM), increases the predisposition to injury, incontinence, and sexual dysfunction and diminishes the quality of life. As a monotherapy, HIFEM effectively strengthens the PFM and, in synergy with radiofrequency (RF), fortifies abdominal muscles. Thus this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of abdominal and pelvic HIFEM treatments on the improvement of core muscle strength and quality of life.
