Sensory threshold neuromuscular electrical stimulation fosters motor imagery performance

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for motor restoration in hemiparesis.

This article assesses the clinical efficacy of established neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technologies for motor restoration in hemiparesis and provides an overview of evolving technologies. Transcutaneous NMES facilitates motor recovery. However, its impact on physical disability remains uncertain. Transcutaneous NMES also decreases shoulder subluxation, but its effect on shoulder...

Effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Training on Endurance Performance

Neuromuscular 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 ...

• 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...
