Abstract
|
|
|
|
This study aimed to confirm the effects of microcurrent stimulation applied to both gastrocnemius muscles on body temperature. The experiment was performed on 13 women wearing high heels, who had no metallic materials in their body and had no peripheral or musculoskeletal disease. The subjects were subjected to microcurrent stimulation using microcurrent stimulation equipment for 15 minutes on each muscle. The temperature of the gastrocnemius was measured pre- and post-intervention using an infrared body heat analyzer. Both gastrocnemius body temperatures showed a significant improvement after microcurrent stimulation (p<.05). Given the results of this study, microcurrent stimulation is considered to be helpful in body temperature changes, restrictively.
