Article Synopsis
- Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is gaining popularity as a training method, particularly through whole-body EMS (WB-EMS), which can enhance low-intensity endurance activities like walking.
- A study with 11 participants compared exercise intensity between conventional walking and Nordic walking, both with and without WB-EMS, measuring oxygen uptake, lactate levels, and perceived exertion.
- Results showed that WB-EMS significantly increased exercise intensity, particularly in perceived exertion, but some measures like oxygen uptake differences were within normal biological variability, indicating a need for further investigation.
Background: In-toeing is a major concern of many parents presenting their children to pediatric orthopedists. Foot progression angle (FPA) quantifies the rotation of the foot's longitudinal axis during gait, with negative values describing in-toeing and positive values describing out-toeing. Although it has been shown that the FPA changes over the course of a child's development, reference values for the normal FPA-range are lacking.
