Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the femoral nerve has been shown to improve quadriceps muscle strength, muscle mass, and performance in patients with severe COPD. Magnetic stimulation may be preferred because it offers the opportunity to train the whole muscle and because it is painless. In this pilot study we are investigating whether repetitive magnetic stimulation camn increase the strength of the quadriceps muscle and whether it confers any change in structure or metabolism of the muscle itself.
