PhD Studentship: Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as a Countermeasure to Sarcopenia Due to Ageing and/or Disease - Loughborough, United Kingdom - Loughborough University
Description
Sarcopenia is characterised by a loss of muscle strength, muscle mass, as well as low physical performance, and is now classified as a disease in its own right. Although often associated with ageing, it is also recognised as a complication of numerous other long term health conditions (e.g. chronic kidney disease) and is associated with worse clinical outcomes, including poor quality of life, higher hospitalisation rates and increased mortality. The annual cost of sarcopenia to the NHS has been estimated to be around £2.5 billion.
Exercise, and particularly resistance training, is known to be an effective treatment for sarcopenia increasing muscle strength due to a range of neural and muscular adaptations. However, some sarcopenic patients are unwilling or unable to engage in traditional resistance exercise, perhaps due to on-going symptoms.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a well-tolerated rehabilitation technique that evokes muscular contraction, mimicking exercise, which makes it an interesting alternative to resistance training for individuals who may struggle to perform voluntary exercise.
However, the optimisation, efficacy and adaptations underpinning NMES remains somewhat opaque. Specifically, recent NICE guidance [IPG677] has recommended further research being needed to understand the efficacy and physiological adaptations to NMES. The physiological adaptations could include improvements in function (strength and power), as well as changes in both muscle morphology and neural control/activation of the stimulated muscles. The state-of-the-art neuromuscular laboratories at Loughborough are able to utilise a range of contemporary neuromuscular techniques to examine these mechanisms.
This PhD project will address the neuromuscular adaptations to NMES as a countermeasure to sarcopenia. It could also include other comparator exercise interventions, cross-sectional studies of sarcopenia and research optimising NMES.
Supervisors
