Acute Feasibility of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Severely Obese Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: A Pilot Study

Figure 2

Acute responses to a single session of multipath versus conventional NMES in obese patients with OSA: comparison of individual values of (a) self-selected current intensity (dashed line: maximal current intensity delivered by each device); (b) NMES-evoked force; and (c) self-reported discomfort by stimulation modality (multipath versus conventional NMES, for both treatment sessions). Bars are median and standard errors.
