Surface Electromyography Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of a Series of Systemic Cryotherapy Treatments on the Bioelectrical Activity of Muscles and the Functional State of Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (Latin: Sclerosis multiplex; MS) is a chronic, inflammatory and
degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterised by a varied course and
symptomatology. The chronic nature of the disease and gradual loss of tissue within the CNS
result in increasing neurological deficits and motor failure over time. Due to the
characteristics of the symptoms and the chronic course of MS, patients with MS use various
forms of physiotherapeutic procedures throughout most of their lives, including especially
often whole-body cryotherapy (WBC) treatments. The aim of this study was to assess potential
changes in bioelectrical muscle activity during rest and contraction after exposure on 20
series of Whole body cryotherapy (WBC) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Assessment
potential relationships between the sEMG parameters and functional state in patients with
multiple sclerosis pre and post 20 series of WBC.
Finally, 114 patients with MS participated in the planned procedures of research. The
participants were randomly assigned to the two groups, WBC and control. The sample size was
60 in WBC, and 54 in control groups. Testing before and after series of WBC consisted of:
clinical assessment of fatigue was performed by the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), gait speed
using Timed 25 Foot Walk (T25-FW), Hand grip strength (HGS), and surface electromyography
(sEMG) of the dominant hand.
