Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps (NMES) is known to improve exercise tolerance in R severe COPD patients (pts), however, when used at home in addition to a pulmonary rehabilitation program (PR), data are few. Aim To measure the improvement when NMES is added to conventional PR Methods 52 pts with moderate to very severe COPD participated (59 + 9 y, 7 W, FEV1 24 — 59 %, 02 therapy n = 16). They were randomly assigned to receive NEMS (ES = 27) or not (NES = 25). PR took place either in an outpatients centre or at home (8 wks, 18-24 sessions). NMES was delivered by a Cefar Compex device, with an intensity set to obtain a maximal stimulation without pain, at frequency 35Hz. Pts were asked to use it 30 min per day, 5 days/w...
