Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of functional low frequency electrical
stimulation of quadriceps and calf muscles on muscles strength and in patients with chronic heart
failure (CHF).
Methods: Fifty patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) were randomly selected from Cairo
university hospital, their ages ranged from 40 to 60 years. They were divided into two groups,
thirty patients for study group, and twenty patients for control group. Each patient in the study
group received functional low frequency electrical stimulation with frequency 5 sessions per
week for three successive weeks, in addition to medical treatment. Each patient of the control
group received the same medical treatment, Pre and post study muscles strength assessment was
done for each patient of both groups
Results: The result of this study revealed statistically significant difference in muscles strength
that showed a statistically significant improvement in patients for the study group in comparison
to control group.
Conclusion: Functional low frequency electrical stimulation of quadriceps and calf muscles
improved muscles strength in patients with chronic heart failure, and offered an alternative training
mode. Thus we recommended using functional low frequency electrical stimulation of quadriceps
and calf muscles in order to improve muscles strength, reduce pain and swelling in patients with
chronic heart failure.
