Scientific studies
on the effectiveness of EMS/EMA training

On this page, you will find a carefully selected range of scientific studies demonstrating the effectiveness of EMS (electromyostimulation) and EMA (electromyostimulation activation) training. These innovative training methods are becoming increasingly important because they enable efficient and targeted stimulation of the muscles, particularly for older people or those with health limitations. The studies presented here provide a well-founded insight into the positive effects on muscle growth, performance enhancement, and rehabilitation.

Uptake in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. Results from the EMS Study
Published: 03/2015

Ruhr University, Bochum (Germany)

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of EMS in type 2 diabetes on glucose metabolism, body composition, and exercise performance using a newly developed stimulation suit that engages the trunk, leg, and arm muscles.

EMS training improves glucose metabolism and functional performance in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TRAINING WITH OUR SUIT SYSTEMS

for the rehabilitation of moderate-to-severe COPD: a meta-analysis

Published: 11/2016

Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou (China)

Patients with COPD frequently suffer from skeletal muscle dysfunction. For those who cannot or do not want to engage in physical training, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may offer an alternative rehabilitation method. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate whether this form of therapy is effective in patients with moderate to severe COPD.

CLEANING & CARE

on female pelvic floor dysfunction
Published: 07/2024

West China Hospital and Sichuan University, Chengdu (China)

The aim was to systematically evaluate the therapeutic effect of electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training for female pelvic floor dysfunction.

The combination of EMS and pelvic floor exercises strengthens the pelvic floor more than exercises alone.
