متن کاملNeuromuscular electrical stimulation in neurorehabilitation.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical uses of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for functional and therapeutic applications in subjects with spinal cord injury or stroke. Functional applications refer to the use of NMES to activate paralyzed muscles in precise sequence and magnitude to directly accomplish functional tasks. In therapeutic applications, NMES may ...
متن کامل• Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Enhances Fracture Healing
METHODS: The study protocol was approved and followed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the author’s institution. Twentyfour rabbits received unilateral, transverse, mid-tibial, 3-mm gapped osteotomies that were stabilized with double-bar external fixators. With the aim to simulate the venous stasis and soft tissue edema that is common to acute tibial fractures, the left fem...
متن کاملNeuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Dysphagia Management
ABSTRACT: Purpose: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a relatively new yet controversial approach to the treatment of dysphagia that is gaining clinical popularity. The purpose of this study was to contribute to our understanding of the clinical viability of NMES, in light of empirical controversy, by describing current trends in the use/nonuse of NMES and clinician-perceived barrie...
متن کاملThe principles of neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
circuit offer some hindrance to the movement of electrons. Some conductive materials allow electrons to move more freely than others and are said to have low resistance. The unit of measurement for resistance is the ohm (Ω). Resistance can cause a problem at the interface between the electrode and the skin as the skin has high resistance and is also well supplied with sensory nerve endings. Thi...
