Preventing Acute Atrophied Muscles by Therapeutic Magnetic Stimulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many patients with upper motoneuron lesion have difficulty in making useful muscle contractions due to weak and atrophied muscles. The feasibility of using functional electrical stimulation (FES) for muscle activation to restore gait in these patients has been demonstrated. This is possible because most of these patients have intact peripheral nerves below their level of injury that can be stimulated to provide muscle contractions. Therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES) has been performed to increase muscle force, and to prevent muscle atrophy.

Skeletal muscle atrophy leads to loss and dysfunction of muscle precursor cells.
Atrophy of skeletal muscle leads to decreases in myofiber size and nuclear number; however, the effects of atrophic conditions on muscle precursor cells (MPC) are largely unknown. MPC lie outside myofibers and represent the main source of additional myonuclei necessary for muscle growth and repair. In the present study, we examined the properties of MPC after hindlimb suspension (HS)-induced at...

Motor responses evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation OMS) or transcranial electrical stimulation (TCS) can be facilitated by a prior conditioning stimulus to an afferent nerve. Two facilitation periods are described short (SI), when the nerve stimulus is given near 0 to 10 ms after cranial stimulation, and long (LI), when nerve stimulation is given 25-60 ms before the cranial stimula...
متن کاملThe Effect of rTMS with Rehabilitation on Hand Function and Corticomotor Excitability in Sub-Acute Stroke
Objectives: Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. Hand motor impairment resulting from chronic stroke may have extensive physical, psychological, financial, and social implications despite available rehabilitative treatments. The best time to start treatment for stroke, is in sub-acute period. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a method of stimulating and ...
متن کاملMicrocurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation Facilitates Regrowth of Mouse Soleus Muscle
Microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation (MENS) has been used to facilitate recovery from skeletal muscle injury. However, the effects of MENS on unloading-associated atrophied skeletal muscle remain unclear. Effects of MENS on the regrowing process of unloading-associated atrophied skeletal muscle were investigated. Male C57BL/6J mice (10-week old) were randomly assigned to untreated normal r...
