Rhabdomyolysis in a young woman after whole-body electromyostimulation training

Translated title of the contribution: Rhabdomyolysis in a young woman after whole-body electromyostimulation training

Abstract

This is a case report of a hospitalised 31-year-old female with rhabdomyolysis following a single 20-minute training session wearing a whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) suit. The patient presented with severe muscle pain, dark-coloured urine, and among others elevated levels of plasma creatine kinase and myoglobin. This case report demonstrate that unaccustomed WB-EMS training may be harmful. Therefore, healthcare professionals as well as those using and operating the WB-EMS applications should be aware of the potential adverse events to the equipment, e.g. severe rhabdomyolysis.
