Article Synopsis
- * Traditional exercise regimens are recommended but poorly maintained among patients; thus, alternative strategies like neuromuscular electrical stimulation are being explored to better support patients during recovery.
- * A randomized controlled trial is investigating the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on physical function and quality of life for patients post-transplant to determine its effectiveness and acceptance as a rehabilitation method.
Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI), a common cause of adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD), affects 20% of Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan (OEF/OIF/OND).
