During this webinar, attendees will learn the principles of neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) in improving peak and rate of force development in the elderly. While covering the potential losses of function associated with various comorbidities in the elderly, Dr Proulx will also demonstrate the benefits of supplementing a fall prevention and recovery program with NMES. Webinar attendees will understand rate of force development and its impacts on fall prevention, will learn the components of NMES, including the parameter of application and physiological outcomes, as well as discover how to implement NMES in a fall prevention and recovery program.
