Duchenne Musküler Distrofi (DMD), X kromozomuna bağlı resesif geçiş gösteren ve yaklaşık 1/3600-6000 canlı erkek doğum prevelansı olan genetik bir hastalıktır. DMD esas olarak çocukları etkileyen, ilerleyici kas zayıflığı ile karakterize, kadınların taşıyıcı olup genellikle asemptomatik veya hafif belirti gösterdiği çocukluk çağında en sık görülen musküler distrofi tipidir. Tedavi konusunda gün...

The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics of esophageal cortical evoked potentials (CEP) following electrical and mechanical stimulation in healthy subjects to evaluate the afferents involved in mediating esophageal sensation. Similarities in morphology and interpeak latencies of the CEP to electrical and mechanical stimulation suggest that they are mediated via similar pathways....

Cervical magnetic stimulation is a new technique for stimulating the phrenic nerves, and may offer an alternative to percutaneous electrical stimulation for assessing diaphragmatic strength in normal subjects and patients in whom electrical stimulation is technically difficult or poorly tolerated. We compared cervical magnetic stimulation with conventional supramaximal bilateral percutaneous el...

[Purpose] The purpose of the study was to design and implement a multichannel dynamic functional electrical stimulation system and investigate acute effects of functional electrical stimulation of the tibialis anterior and rectus femoris on ankle and knee sagittal-plane kinematics and related muscle forces of hemiplegic gait. [Subjects and Methods] A multichannel dynamic electrical stimulation ...
