This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study investigates whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (WB-EMS) paired with supervised exercise as a potential treatment for adults living with neuromuscular diseases. The WB-EMS device delivers gentle electrical pulses to your muscles while you perform guided exercises, helping your muscles contract even when voluntary movement is difficult. Researchers want to see whether this approach can safely improve strength and physical function in people with conditions like ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, or Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
Many people with neuromuscular diseases struggle with traditional exercise because their muscles don't respond well to voluntary commands, leading to weakness and reduced physical activity. This study exists to explore whether electrical stimulation could bypass those limitations and provide a safer, more accessible way to strengthen muscles and improve daily functioning.

You would attend 1–2 supervised exercise sessions per week for 4–8 weeks, with each session lasting about 20 minutes. During each session, you would wear a specialized electrical stimulation suit and follow along with a guided exercise video while a trainer monitors your comfort, adjusts the stimulation level, and provides support. The exercises consist of 10–12 movements, each performed for 14 repetitions, and you can pause the program at any time if you need a break.
