title = "A comparative study of the effects of electrical stimulation and intermittent compressive forces on soft tissue mechanical properties",
abstract = "We aimed to investigate and compare the effects of electrical stimulation and intermittent compressive forces on soft tissue mechanical properties. Four healthy individuals were recruited into this study. A transcutaneous electrical stimulation device was used to apply a pulse duration of 2.5 ms, a frequency of 2 Hz, and the amplitude to a maximum of 30 mA. The intermittent compressive forces were applied at a period of 20 s with forces ranging from 0 to 70 mmHg. The effective Young{\textquoteright}s modulus was calculated to characterize mechanical properties of forearm soft tissues. The results showed that forearm soft tissue properties might decrease effective Young{\textquoteright}s modulus after the treatments of electrical stimulation and intermittent compressive forces.",
