Electrotherapy devices used for rehabilitation provide an electrical current that activates sensory and motor neurons to reduce pain and improve tissue repair after injury or surgery. For most equine applications, neuromuscular electrical stimulators (NMES) are the most appropriate devices. NMES produce controlled motor and sensory responses both superficial and deep while maintaining a high le...

One of the current trends in the rehabilitation of lower limb neuromuscular disabilities is to use fully or partially implantable systems based on Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). In this paper, the conceptual design of a possible fully or partially implantable system with submillimiter size is presented. The system presents increased flexibility, adaptability and comfortability. Prelim...

Nail-patella syndrome, also known as hereditary onycho-osteodystrophy, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with pleiotropic phenotypic expression.The present report is of a nail-patella syndrome patient, a 26-year-old female, admitted to our NeuroMuscular Rehabilitation Clinic Division for neurological symptoms, secondary to a severe spondylolysthesis with bilateral L5 pedicle fracture. Durin...

CONTEXT Although lateral ankle sprains are common in athletes and can lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI), strength-training rehabilitation protocols may improve the deficits often associated with CAI. OBJECTIVE To determine whether strength-training protocols affect strength, dynamic balance, functional performance, and perceived instability in individuals with CAI. DESIGN Randomized c...

Introduction. Friedreich?s ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease. Ataxia, as the cardinal symptom, affects trunk, with swaying, imbalance, and falls, well limbs, increasing difficulty in activities of daily living. Physical therapy has been recognized a means managing physical symptoms maximizing function affected persons. To our knowledge, there are no studies that ha...

Abstract B-mode ultrasound (US) is often used to noninvasively measure skeletal muscle architecture, which contains human intent information. Extracted features from images can help improve closed-loop human–robotic interaction control when using rehabilitation/assistive devices. The traditional manual approach inferring the structural US laborious, time-consuming, and subjective among differen...

Purpose: Exercise therapy is the most common conservative treatment for low back pain. has generally been associated pain and kinesiophobia. In this context, especially paraspinal muscles need to be focused on. For reason, aim of our study evaluate different types exercises that will help increase neuromuscular facilitation core stability in by considering patient satisfaction.
 Methods: A...

iontophoresis of epinephrine for assessment of neuromuscular junction response is a new technique that can improve diagnose of neuromuscular dysfunction. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of iontophoresis of epinephrine on neuromuscular junction response. iontophoresis of epinephrine solution (1mg/ml), sodium chloride, calcium gluconate, epinephrine with sodium chloride a...
