What this study is about
This trial is testing whether whole-body electrical muscle stimulation exercise can improve spinal motoneuronal activation and physical function in older adults. Participants will undergo tests before and after the exercise intervention, which involves two sessions per week for four weeks.

Extracted study details
Pulled from the trial record to show what is being tested and what the study is measuring.
Primary: Mean change from baseline in central activation ratio of the vastus lateralis using interpolated twitch technique (ITT), Mean change from baseline in motor unit firing rates of the vastus lateralis using decomposition electromyography (dEMG)
Secondary: Mean change from baseline in balance testing, Mean change from baseline in mobility testing
