Electrical Stimulation of Osteogenesis

Southern Medical Journal, 1984
The three electrical stimulation systems available for treating nonunion of long bones are successful in approximately 85% of cases. The percutaneous direct current bone growth stimulator is partially invasive, allows patient mobility, can be used with magnetic fixation devices, and can be monitored for proper function, but it requires an operation ...

Electrical stimulation for stress incontinence

International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, 1998
Electrical stimulation has been reported to be effective for stress incontinence, cure and improvement rates being reported to range from 30% to 50%, and from 6% to 90%, respectively. However, clinical application of this treatment is not common because there is little physiological and technical information.

The Father of the Electrical Stimulation of the Ear

Otology & Neurotology, 2019
The Italian physicist Count Alessandro Volta, inventor of the electric battery, is considered the first scientist to have stimulated the ear with electricity, and the results of his experiments were presented in June 1800, at a meeting held by the Royal Society of London.

Electrical Stimulation for Strengthening

Physical Therapy, 1985
To the Editor: I read with interest, in the May 1985 issue of Physical Therapy, the article by Mohr et al entitled “Comparison of Isometric Exercise and High Volt Galvanic Stimulation on Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Strength” and the follow-up commentary by Barr.

Functional Electrical Stimulation

2000
If a motor nerve is stimulated from an external electrode, the resulting action potential will propagate to the innervated muscle and a twitch will be produced. The muscle responds to the artificially initiated nerve signal just as it would a naturally occurring signal.

Vestibular Electrical Stimulation

2014
Peripheral proprioceptors of the muscles and the joints have a feedback control on the vestibular nuclei through spino-vestibular pathways. Neuromuscular spindles and Golgi receptors are dynamometers and they are particularly sensitive to variations in muscle length and tension.

On Hearing by Electrical Stimulation

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1937
The well-known fact that the ear generates an electric potential in response to stimulation by a sound wave has its counterpart in the fact that, when an alternating current is passed through the head, an auditory sensation results.

Fundamentals of Electrical Stimulation

2009
Abstract Voltage-gated Na+ channels exhibit three states: closed activatable, open activated, and closed inactivatable. At resting membrane potentials, about 75% of the channels are in the closed activatable state. Depolarizing the axon membrane causes the activatable channels to open, allowing Na+ to move along a voltage and concentration gradient ...

Electric stimulation and wound healing

Journal of WOCN, 1998
Interest in accelerating the process of wound healing has existed since the beginning of health care. Although significant advances have been made in our understanding of the stages of wound healing, the mediators of tissue repair and regeneration, as well as the efficacy of many treatments, have not been fully evaluated.

ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IN OVERACTIVE BLADDER

BJU International, 2000
ABSTRACTElectrical stimulation is an effective and well‐tolerated treatment for overactive bladder. Initial work in animals indicated the potential of this treatment, and early clinical experience in Europe further supported its likely efficacy. Although the mechanism of action of electrical stimulation remains unproven in humans, it is believed to be ...
