Mobility test protocols for the elderly: a methodological note
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Consequences of falls are a major health problem in elderly. Poor balance is the precursor of falls and balance impairment has been evidenced after an injury. On the other hand, balance and stability can be improved with training. At the beginning of the

Transcranial electrical stimulation [PDF]
Current Biology, 2017 Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a neuromodulatory technique in which low voltage constant or alternating currents are applied to the human brain via scalp electrodes. The basic idea of tES is that the application of weak currents can interact with neural processing, modify plasticity and entrain brain networks, and that this in turn can ...

Peripherical Electrical Stimulation for Parkinsonian Tremor: A Systematic Review
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Parkinsonian tremor is one of the most common motor disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Compared to oral medications and brain surgery, electrical stimulation approaches have emerged as effective and non-invasive methods for tremor ...

Selection of body sway parameters according to their sensitivity and repeatability
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2010 For the precise evaluation of body balance, static type of tests performed on a force plate are the most commonly used ones. In these tests, body sway characteristics are analyzed based on the model of inverted pendulum and looking at the center of ...

Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing

Electrical vs manual acupuncture stimulation in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome: different effects on muscle and fat tissue insulin signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), repeated low-frequency electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles restores whole-body insulin sensitivity measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015 Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and function, reducing force generation and mobility in the elderlies. Contributing factors include a severe decrease in both myofiber size and number as well as a decrease in the number of motor neurons ...

Effects of Electrical Stimulation on Skeletal Muscle of Old Sedentary People
Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 2018 Physical activity plays an important role in preventing muscle atrophy and chronic diseases in adults and in the elderly. Calcium (Ca 2+ ) cycling and activation of specific molecular pathways are essential in contraction-induced muscle adaptation.
