Can EMS at Home Help You Even If You Can't Exercise?

Can EMS at home help even severe patients who can’t exercise? A groundbreaking study in Thorax proved yes. Fifteen severely disabled COPD patients used a simple 6-week home quadriceps EMS programme. Results were impressive: stronger thigh muscles, doubled exercise endurance, higher oxygen uptake and significantly less daily breathlessness – all with zero side effects. Today, EMS offers hope not just for advanced COPD and heart failure patients, but for anyone too frail, injured or time-poor to exercise conventionally. A sofa, pads and 30 minutes could change everything. For more blog post and original study: https://oriems.fit/blogs/research-digest/can-ems-at-home-help-you-even-if-you-cant-exercise
