简要总结
Aims & Objectives –
• Aim:
I. To evaluate the effectiveness of a vestibular exercise program and neuromuscular electrical stimulation on balance and gait recovery in combat sports athletes with post-concussion.
II. To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with vestibular exercises versus placebo neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with vestibular exercises on balance and gait recovery in post-concussion combat sports athletes.
• Objectives:
I. To evaluate the effectiveness of placebo NMES combined with vestibular exercises on balance and gait recovery in combat sports athletes with post concussion.
II. To evaluate the effectiveness of NMES combined with vestibular exercises on balance and gait recovery in combat sports athletes with post-concussion
Hypothesis –
• Null Hypothesis (H₀):
- H01: There will be no significant effect in balance and gait recovery between athletes receiving a placebo NMES and vestibular exercises in post-concussion combat sports athletes.
- H02: There will be no significant effect in balance and gait recovery between athletes receiving NMES combined with vestibular exercises on balance and gait recovery in combat sports athletes with post-concussion
• Alternative Hypothesis (Hâ‚):
- H11: There will be a significant effect in balance and gait recovery between athletes receiving a placebo NMES and vestibular exercises in post-concussion combat sports athletes.
- H12: There will be a significant effect in balance and gait recovery between athletes receiving NMES combined with vestibular exercises on balance and gait recovery in combat sports athletes with post-concussion
