Application of Levi’s Muscle Index in frailty assessment: comparison of bioimpedance measures among older adults by Kworweinski Lafontant, Kworweinski Lafontant, David H. Fukuda, Estefania Zamarripa, Estefania Zamarripa, Abigail L. Tice, Jethro Raphael M. Suarez, Jethro Raphael M. Suarez, Chitra Banarjee, Chitra Banarjee, Dahee Kim, Jeffrey R. Stout, Jeffrey R. Stout, Joon-Hyuk Park, Joon-Hyuk Park, Rui Xie, Rui Xie, Rui Xie, Ladda Thiamwong, Ladda Thiamwong

“…IntroductionFrailty is prevalent among older adults and is characterized by reductions in physical function and muscle quality. Despite the emerging clinical utility of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and phase angle (PhA) as a bioimpedance index, little is known about how bioimpedance indices such as Levi’s Muscle Index (LMI), reactance/height (Xc/Height), and resistance/height (R/Height), relate to physical function and frailty.MethodsThis cross-sectional study examined 208 community-dwelling older adults (female, n = 183; age = 74.2 ± 6.9 years; BMI = 30.4 ± 6.4 kg/m2) to compare physical function measures and bioimpedance indices across frailty categories determined by the FRAIL questionnaire. …”

Effect of Multi-Joint Functional Electrical Stimulation Combined with Conventional Rehabilitation Therapy on Lower Limb Motor Function of Patients with Stroke by LIU Jiapeng, WANG Weining, XU Dongyan, WANG Nianhong, WU Yi

“…Compared with the control group at the same time, the walking speed and the average knee flexion and extension angles in the experimental group increased significantly after two weeks of treatment, while the stride length and the average knee flexion and extension angles increased significantly after four weeks of treatment, and the double support phase decreased significantly, with statistically significant differences (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionMulti-joint FES combined with conventional rehabilitation therapy can effectively improve the lower limb motor function, walking ability and activities of daily living of hemiplegic patients after stroke.…”
