Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Electrical stimulators are devices that electrically excite peripheral nerves and induce muscle contraction. They are used in a wide range of rehabilitation applications, including preventing muscle atrophy due to immobility and strengthening athletes' muscles. In recent years, belt-type electrical stimulators (B-SES) have been developed, enabling electrical stimulation over a wide range of areas. However, the effects of B-SES on deep muscle contraction remain unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether deep muscle activity occurs during B-SES by examining changes in muscle thickness using ultrasound imaging. If deep muscle contraction can be confirmed through B-SES, long-term use may improve deep muscle function, potentially enabling application as a rehabilitation method contributing to spinal stabilization. This is believed to have great social and clinical value.

This study was not intended to evaluate the efficacy or safety of belt-type electrical stimulators.
