More about the study
More about the study
- Muscle stimulation could offer a way to help people with MS exercise more. Muscle stimulation can be used at home and makes muscles contract, like exercising with weights.
- This is done using sticky pads on the skin and painless electrical signals. Muscle stimulation could stop a downward spiral of worsening muscle weakness, walking ability, physical activity and tiredness, keeping people walking independently for longer.
- The aim of the study we are currently carrying out is to gather information to plan a large study to see if muscle stimulation for people with MS strengthens muscles, improves walking, helps with tiredness, and reduces muscle spasms.
- This will help us decide if we can do the large future study and what needs to be changed
