Effects of slow frequency electrical stimulation on muscles of dystrophic mice.
The hind leg muscles of dystrophic mice (C57 BL dy2J/dy2J) wer chronically stimulated at 10 Hz for 30 minutes six times a day. After 14 days of such activity a clinical improvement in the use of the stimulated leg was noticed. The twitch and tetanic tensions developed by the stimulated tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles were higher than those developed by the control, unsti...
متن کاملObservations on the effects of low frequency electrical stimulation on fast muscles of dystrophic mice.
The deterioration of tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles in dystrophic mice (C 57 BL dy/dy) was compared. The effects of chronic electrical stimulation on various characteristic properties of these muscles were also studied. The results indicate that EDL muscles are less affected by the disease than TA. This "selectivity" is difficult to explain since both muscles...
متن کاملLong term effect of low frequency chronic electrical stimulation on the fast hind limb muscles of dystrophic mice.
Low frequency chronic electrical stimulation can have a beneficial effect on dystrophic muscles. The present study was undertaken to assess the long term effect of such stimulation on the fast hind limb muscles of dystrophic mice. The relationship between the changes induced by stimulation and the initial condition of the dystrophic muscles, as well as other factors which might contribute to th...
متن کاملEffects of chronic electrical stimulation on paralyzed expiratory muscles.
Following spinal cord injury, the expiratory muscles develop significant disuse atrophy characterized by reductions in their weight, fiber cross-sectional area, and force-generating capacity. We determined the extent to which these physiological alterations can be prevented with electrical stimulation. Because a critical function of the expiratory muscles is cough generation, an important goal ...
