About this trial
This study will first conduct a precise assessment of the differences in muscle coordination among the elderly through muscle synergy analysis; then, based on this, it will extract abnormal synergy patterns and muscle activation patterns, and reconstruct the intervention's synergy modules to fit the intervention electrostimulation curve; finally, electrical stimulation interventions will be carried out on different elderly individuals under two conditions: sitting and walking, to evaluate the intervention effects and analyze the biomechanical mechanisms of its effectiveness.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
