治験番号 NCT06689618 は 介入研究 臨床試験 で、老化、サルコペニア、Sarcopenia in Elderly に関するものです。現在は 募集中 で、2025年6月1日 から開始しています。12 名の参加者 の募集が計画されています。この治験は ミズーリ大学コロンビア校 によって主催され、2025年12月1日 に完了予定です。ClinicalTrials.gov からの最新更新日は 2025年4月13日 です。
概要
During this pilot study, the investigators will examine the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) on motoneuronal activation in healthy adults, which typically decreases with age. The investigators will also test whether WB-EMS Exercise will improve measures of physical function. Participants will undergo clinical and electrophysiologic testing before and after the WB-EMS Exercise intervention. The WB-EMS Exercise intervention will be delivered two times per week for four weeks. The hypothesis is that whole-body electrical muscle stimulation combined with physical exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) could bypass the problem of insufficient motoneuronal activation to improve exercise effect in older adults.
詳細説明
During this pilot study, the investigators will examine the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) on motoneuronal activation in healthy adults, which typically decreases with age. The investigators will also test whether WB-EMS Exercise will improve measures of physical function. The intervention consists of WB-EMS Exercise twice a week for four weeks. The investigators will use decomposition electromyography, interpolated twitch technique, and clinical measures to assess pre- and post-treatment motoneuronal activation and physical functioning. Correlation matrices will be performed associating the measures of motoneuronal activation to the measures of physical function (pre-intervention values, post-intervention values, and change values). At the conclusion of the study, expected outcomes include that whole-body electrical muscle stimulation combined with physical exercise (WB-EMS Exercise) could bypass the problem of insufficient motoneuronal activation to improve exercise effect in older adults. This project represents early work to uncover motoneuronal mechanisms of WB-EMS Exercise in older adults. An intervention that combines voluntary and involuntary activation of motoneurons to enhance the effectiveness of exercise could have significant impact in maximizing the functional independence of an aging population.

実験的Healthy Adults
All participants will receive the WB-EMS Exercise intervention 2 times per week for 4 weeks. Participants will only perform leveled exercise programs in the "Strength" Training Mode. These programs are 20-minute videos led by exercise professionals. They are full-body workouts with no one muscle group receiving more attention than another. They consist of 10-12 exercises performed for 14 repetitions. Each repetition takes 4 seconds to complete (the time that the stimulation is "on") and is followed by a 4 second rest (the time that the stimulation is "off"). All exercises occur in a double-limb stance position. Most exercises occur with feet in wide base of support, hips width or more apart. All exercises are modifiable by the healthcare professional administering and monitoring the intervention based on participant's safe and available range of motion (i.e. arm movements, torso positions, extent of knee bend).
運動
The WB-EMS Device is a fitness device that delivers whole-body electrical muscle stimulation in conjunction with exercise programs. After donning a base layer consisting of fitted shorts and shirt, a vest, shorts, and arm straps with integrated electrodes mapped to major muscle groups (biceps, triceps, pectorals, abdominals, periscapular musculature, paraspinal musculature, gluteus musculature, quadriceps, and hamstrings) are donned. The suit connects to an impulse pack that communicates with the Katalyst iPad App to deliver the programmed stimulation to the participant. Within the Katalyst App, there are leveled exercise programs where low levels (i.e. Level 1 and 2) are simple movements and higher levels (i.e. Levels 3, 4, and 5) have more complex and dynamic movements. There is complete user control of the stimulation level of each individual muscle group to tailor to participant responses and tolerance.
主要評価項目
評価指標指標の説明時間枠
Mean change from baseline in motor unit firing rates of the vastus lateralis using decomposition electromyography (dEMG)
Decomposition electromyography (dEMG) is a measurement of motor unit activity; a surface electrode will be placed over the vastus lateralis in the thigh and participants will be asked to activate that muscle.
Measured within 3 days of starting the intervention and within 3 days of completing the intervention
Mean change from baseline in central activation ratio of the vastus lateralis using interpolated twitch technique (ITT)
The central activation ratio (CAR) is a representation of how completely a person can voluntarily access their maximum force production capacity. Surface electrodes will be placed over the vastus lateralis in the thigh and participants will be asked to activate that muscle.
Measured within 3 days of starting the intervention and within 3 days of completing the intervention
副次評価項目
評価指標指標の説明時間枠
Mean change from baseline in mobility testing
To capture changes in common functional movements relevant to maintenance of independence for older adults, the investigators will collect data on gait speed (10-m walk/run test), stair negotiation (4-stair ascent and descent), rising from/lowering to a chair (30 second sit to stand), and lowering to/rising from the floor (floor transfer test).
Measured within 3 days of starting the intervention and within 3 days of completing the intervention
Mean change from baseline in balance testing
The Balance Outcome Measure for Elder Rehabilitation (BOOMER) is an older adult-specific measure of balance. It is a composite test consisting of a Step Test (tapping a step with one foot as many times as safely possible in 15 seconds), the Timed Up and Go (TUG; rise from a chair, walk 3 meters, turn around, and return to sitting in chair), the Functional Reach Test (FRT; standing forward reach with arms outstretched as far as a person can control), and a Timed Static Stance (narrow stance, eyes closed for up to 90 seconds). Participants will also complete the Single Leg Hop test and the Star Excursion Test.
Measured within 3 days of starting the intervention and within 3 days of completing the intervention
Treatment Feedback Questionnaire
The Treatment Feedback Questionnaire was created by the principal investigator to systematically collect meaningful feedback from the participants regarding their opinions, impressions, and recommendations about the WB-EMS Exercise intervention. This is part of an ongoing effort to develop exercise interventions that are effective and patient-centered and can be adopted and sustained to promote long-term health.
Measured within 3 days of completing the intervention
