Supramaximal stimuli do not evoke a maximal contraction in urinary bladder smooth muscle fibers [PDF]
, 2001 BACKGROUND: Smooth muscle fibers can be stimulated with an electrical field, high potassium or carbachol. We studied the effect of combined, supramaximal stimulation on the isometric force and the maximum shortening velocity of the pig urinary bladder ...

Paraspinal Muscle Response to Electrical Vestibular Stimulation
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 2000 Galvanic (electrical) vestibular stimulation (GVS) has been used to study the role of the vestibular system in postural control by inducing postural sway in standing subjects. The purpose of this study was to determine the timing and pattern of activation in the paraspinal muscles in response to GVS and to compare these responses with those in the ...

Functional electrical stimulation (FES): muscle histochemical analysis [PDF]
Spinal Cord, 1993 Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used in Brazil since 1989 to obtain functional improvement in paraplegic patients' orthostasis and locomotion. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the histochemical changes observed in the quadriceps femoris muscle following the use of FES.
