Brief Summary:
Elderly people experience reduced strength mass and muscle function throughout the aging process and this negatively affects the functionality and quality of life of these individuals A randomized clinical trial will be carried out with 30 volunteers who will be allocated into two groups whole-body electrical stimulation or control Whole-body electrical stimulation WBS sessions will take place twice a week for 8 weeks totaling 16 sessions The primary outcomes of this study are functional mobility Timed Up and Go test and quality of life EQ-5D questionnaire Functional mobility will be assessed at baseline after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment or follow-up Quality of life will be assessed only at the beginning and end of 8 weeks
Detailed Description:
Elderly people experience reduced strength mass and muscle function throughout the aging process and this negatively affects the functionality and quality of life of these individuals Rehabilitation strategies similar to conventional exercise that minimize the damage caused by aging and improve subjects adherence need to be studied A randomized clinical trial will be carried out with 30 volunteers who will be allocated into two groups whole-body electrical stimulation or control Whole-body electrical stimulation WBS sessions will take place twice a week for 8 weeks totaling 16 sessions Simultaneously with the WBS the elderly will perform exercises for the upper lower limbs and trunk The following assessments will be carried out at baseline and 8 weeks to verify the effect of therapy assessment of functional mobility quality of life EQ-5D isometric muscle strength of the quadriceps muscles biceps brachii and handgrip strength lower limb muscle strength assessment of body composition assessment of cellular senescence the inflammatory profile well-being measurement of muscle damage and pain assessment of therapy safety and assessment of sleep quality Assessments of functional mobility lower limb muscle strength cellular senescence the inflammatory profile well-being and muscle damage will also be carried out in 4 weeks
