Neuromuscular Fatigue Is Not Different between Constant and Variable Frequency Stimulation
This study compared fatigue development of the triceps surae induced by two electrical stimulation protocols composed of constant and variable frequency trains (CFTs, VFTs, 450 trains, 30 Hz, 167 ms ON, 500 ms OFF and 146 ms ON, 500 ms OFF respectively). For the VFTs protocol a doublet (100 Hz) was used at the beginning of each train. The intensity used evoked 30% of a maximal voluntary contrac...
متن کاملFatigue of paralyzed and control thenar muscles induced by variable or constant frequency stimulation.
Muscles paralyzed by chronic (>1 yr) spinal cord injury fatigue readily. Our aim was to evaluate whether the fatigability of paralyzed thenar muscles (n = 10) could be reduced by the repeated delivery of variable versus constant frequency pulse trains. Fatigue was induced in four ways. Intermittent supramaximal median nerve stimulation (300-ms-duration trains) was delivered at 1) constant high ...
متن کاملQuadriceps femoris muscle torques and fatigue generated by neuromuscular electrical stimulation with three different waveforms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is used by physical therapists to improve muscle performance. Optimal forms of stimulation settings are yet to be determined, as are possible sex-related differences in responsiveness to electrical stimulation. The objectives of the study were: (1) to compare the ability of 3 different waveforms to generate isometric contractions of th...
متن کاملEffect of Variable and Constant-Frequency Train in Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Stimulation
We tested the hypothesis that increased hemodynamic augmentation and mechanical performance could be achieved by using a variable frequency pulse train (VFT) to stimulate the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM), compared to the conventional constant frequency pulse train (CFT) used in cardiomyoplasty. In dogs (n = 6), a vascular delayed LDM was wrapped posteriorly around the heart. LDM was conditione...
متن کاملWide-pulse-high-frequency neuromuscular stimulation of triceps surae induces greater muscle fatigue compared with conventional stimulation.
We compared the extent and origin of muscle fatigue induced by short-pulse-low-frequency [conventional (CONV)] and wide-pulse-high-frequency (WPHF) neuromuscular electrical stimulation. We expected CONV contractions to mainly originate from depolarization of axonal terminal branches (spatially determined muscle fiber recruitment) and WPHF contractions to be partly produced via a central pathway...
