Effectiveness of surface electromyographic biofeedback-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation on knee rehabilitation
… surface electromyographic biofeedback-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (sEMG-triggered NMES) in post-surgical knee patients. Methods. Twenty-five participants were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: (1) sEMG-triggered NMES intervention with exercise group, or (2) …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve muscle weakness in hip osteoarthritis: A feasibility study
… may be ineffective at producing a level of neuromuscular activation required to induce a muscle strength adaption before and after surgery and therefore innovations are required. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the elicitation of muscle contraction using electric impulses that …

NEUROMUSCULAR ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IN COMPARISON TO HEAT THERAPY AS A MODALITY AFTER EXERCISE-INDUCED MUSCLE FATIGUE
… of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and heat therapy (HT) as recovery modalities after inducing fatigue with maximal exercise in active individuals. The study involved 56 participants who performed a fatiguing exercise before the …

Evaluation of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as a Bone Loss Countermeasure on a Long Duration Mars Mission
… practicality, and potential implementation of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), a therapy that induces involuntary contractions of muscles, to help mitigate astronaut bone loss as a result of microgravity. To accomplish this, we first produced a finite element analysis model of the …

Impact of an Acute Bout of Low- and High-Frequency Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Voluntary Muscle Fatigue and Antioxidant Response
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an intervention used for promoting skeletal muscle contraction, strength, and hypertrophy, particularly in populations with limited voluntary exercise capacity. Stimulation frequency is a key NMES parameter that may influence force production, fatigue …

The Effects of an Acute Bout of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Anabolic Signaling of the mTORC1 Pathway in Individuals with Chronic Stroke
… leading to further muscle wasting and weakness. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is often used to facilitate involuntary muscle contraction; however, the effect of NMES on muscle growth in hemiparetic muscle is not clear. PURPOSE: To determine the skeletal muscle anabolic response of …

Effect of a neuromuscular electrical stimulation muscle strength training intervention on muscle force and mass, physical health and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury
… of available and/or new physical interventions. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is already commonly used to activate skeletal muscles and subsequently reverse muscle atrophy, however NMES as a high-intensity “strength training” intervention appears to be a particularly promising …

Occupational Therapy Treatments and Upper Extremity Motor and Self-Care Outcomes of Patients Post-CVA
… of function post-stroke. Upper extremity neuromuscular electrical stimulation is one strategy that may be used to promote motor recovery.</p> <p>This study's purpose was to investigate the type of post-stroke variables (i.e., demographic, selected medical, and rehabilitative treatments) …

An exploration of spinal care injury treatment : opportunities to improve functional recovery and independence for patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries
… It was concluded that a wireless closed-loop neuromuscular electrical stimulation solution should be further investigated to improve patients' quality of life.

Electrical stimulation and neuromuscular fatigue in healthy and chronic post-stroke populations
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown to be effective for recovery of motor function following injury or pathology, however, NMES can impart rapid fatigue and the specific parameters of stimulation that maximize force output and delay the onset of fatigue remain unclear. …

Comparison of acute physiological effects between alternating current and pulsed current electrical muscle stimulation
Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is widely used in rehabilitation and sport training, and alternating current and pulsed current EMS are commonly used. However, no systematic comparison between alternating and pulsed current EMS has been made in the previous studies. The main aim of this …

The effect of maximal isometric training on doublet-induced force enhancement and its relationship with changes in voluntary rate of force development
… knee extensor strength training on voluntary and electrically-evoked contractile RFD (calculated as the time derivative of the moment-time curve) in 8 untrained male participants. Electrical stimulation (NMES) trains were delivered to the muscle at 20 Hz and 40 Hz and incorporated short (5 and 10 …

Evaluation of Tissue Health and Interventions for the Prevention of Pressure Ulcers in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury
… and different hyperemic response compared to IPR.Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is an approach that could address both extrinsic need for periodic, sustained weight shifting and intrinsic need to improve muscle geometry and quality. It has been shown that, gluteal muscle mass …
