Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) combined with Alaska Pollack Protein (APP) on lower limb muscle strength in elderly hospitalized patients. Elderly patients admitted to the Community Comprehensive Care Unit were divided into three groups: a group receiving regular rehabilitation including NMES (regular rehabilitation group, NMES group), a group receiving regular rehabilitation plus NMES and whey protein (whey group), and a group receiving regular rehabilitation plus NMES and APP (APP group) for 6 weeks. The changes in muscle strength before and after 6 weeks will be compared. In addition, body composition, walking ability, grip strength, balance ability, nutritional status, and oral and swallowing function will be evaluated as secondary outcomes.
