Electrical Stimulation Counteracts Muscle Decline in Seniors [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014 The loss in muscle mass coupled with a decrease in specific force and shift in fiber composition are hallmarks of aging. Training and regular exercise attenuate the signs of sarcopenia. However, pathologic conditions limit the ability to perform physical exercise.

Measuring neuromuscular junction functionality [PDF]
, 2017 Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) functionality plays a pivotal role when studying diseases in which the communication between motor neuron and muscle is impaired, such as aging and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Online identification of electrically stimulated muscle models [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference, 2011 Online identification of electrically stimulated muscle under isometric conditions, modeled as a Hammerstein structure, is investigated in this paper. Motivated by the significant time-varying properties of muscle, a novel recursive algorithm for Hammerstein structure is developed.

Transcutaneous calf-muscle electro-stimulation : a prospective treatment for diabetic claudicants? [PDF]
, 2016 Background: First-line therapy for claudicants with diabetes include supervised exercise programmes to improve walking distance. However, exercise comes with a number of barriers and may be contraindicated in certain conditions. The aim of this study was

Electrical and mechanical activities of longitudinal muscle contraction elicited by transmural electric stimulation [PDF]
, 1975 Intracellular electrical and mechanical activities were simultaneously recorded from the longitudinal muscle of isolated guinea-pig jejunum when the preparation was stimulated transmurally by square pulses of 1 msec, 10 Hz, 10-40 V.

Repetitive afferent electrical stimulation of the lower-limb : effect on corticomotor excitability and implications for rehabilitation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite the extensive work published on the effects of electrical stimulation on corticomotor excitability, very few studies have focused on lower limb muscles.
