Effect of electrical muscle stimulation on cerebrovascular function and cognitive performance
Résumé
This study is the first to demonstrate that one session of EMS applied to the quadriceps increases cerebral blood flow velocity and cerebral oxygenation, which are pivotal factors for brain health. Thus, EMS has the potential to be used as an interesting option in rehabilitation to increase cerebral perfusion and defend if not improve cognitive function sustainably for people with severe physical limitations who would not be able to perform physical exercise voluntarily.
