Effects of chronic low frequency electrical stimulation on normal human tibialis anterior muscle.
The loss of force that occurred during intermittent electrically evoked tetanic contractions was determined for the tibialis anterior muscle of normal subjects. Adult muscles showed a characteristic reduction of tension over the first two to three minutes until a steady plateau was reached. Muscles of young children showed no comparable decrease of the initial tension in response to this method...
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 کاملLOW VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL STIMULATION AND WOUND HEALING IN RABBITS: EFFECT OF ALTERING FREQUENCY
The effect of electrical currents by different modalities on wound healing has been experimented. In this study a survey of the literature shows different results, and the mechanisms of action have not been elucidated for certain. The aim of this study was to compare the results obtained from low voltage-square wave stimulation of different frequencies. Results show that the healing period ...
متن کاملControl of epileptic seizures by electrical low frequency deep brain stimulation: A review of probable mechanisms
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease with no definitive method in treatment. Notably, the main way to treat and control epileptic seizures is drug therapy. However, about 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are drug resistant and require other therapeutic manners. Deep brain stimulation is a new therapeutic strategy for these patients. Conspicuously, there are no clear answers for basi...
