Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study will be to determine the effects of different electrical muscle stimulation protocols on muscle stiffness and functional capacity in post-menopausal women. A randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried out. A total sample of 27 post-menopausal women will be recruited and divided into 3 groups which received high-frequency electrical muscle stimulation during 8 weeks, low-frequency electrical muscle stimulation during 8 weeks or no-intervention (control group). Outcome measurements will be stiffness assessed by sonoelastography and functional capacity assessed by the 30 seconds Chair-Stand Test before and after 8 weeks interventions.
