Addition of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation, Based on the Level of Excitability, to an Intradialytic Twice‐Weekly Cycling Protocol: A Randomized Trial
This study demonstrated that NMES was not superior to the cycling protocol in terms of peripheral muscle strength, functional capacity, neuromuscular excitability, respiratory muscle strength, and quality of life.
