Neuromodulation and Fatigue
- Conditions
- Healthy AgingFatigue
- Interventions
- Behavioral: electrical stimulation
- Registration Number
- NCT05487131
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Oklahoma
- Brief Summary
In this project, we aim to determine any potential effects of a weak electrical current applied to the neck or thoracic area on functional capacity and muscle activation. Healthy individuals will participate in one familiarization followed by three experimental sessions. Fatigability and motor function will be assessed in each test session.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Perception of effort Each session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions) Change in perceived effort will be evaluated with visual analogue scales
Force Each session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions) Change in force will be evaluated with a device during each test session
Muscle activation Each session will take approximately 2 hours (total of 4 test sessions) Electromyography will be used to quantify muscle activation
