Recumbent cycling and electrical stimulation for leg rehab
This study tests whether combining recumbent cycling with electrical muscle stimulation can improve leg function. It may help people with leg weakness or injuries to recover strength and mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- Your body weight must be under 120 kg (about 264 pounds).
- You must not have any bone, joint, or muscle conditions that could affect the results.
