Belt-type electrical muscle stimulation preserves muscle fiber size but does not improve muscle function in a rat model of cancer cachexia
Cancer cachexia causes severe muscle wasting, and current treatments remain limited. Belt-type electrical muscle stimulation (bEMS) has emerged as a passive rehabilitation tool capable of activating m...
