Beneficial impacts of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on muscle structure and function in the zebrafish model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy

eLife, 2022
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) allows activation of muscle fibers in the absence of voluntary force generation. NMES could have the potential to promote muscle homeostasis in the context of muscle disease, but the impacts of NMES on diseased

A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in patients with acute heart failure [PDF]

PeerJ
Background Acute heart failure often leads to impaired physical function, high rehospitalization rates, and poor quality of life. Although exercise-based rehabilitation benefits chronic heart failure patients, its feasibility in acute heart failure is ...

Stimulating the Comfort of Textile Electrodes in Wearable Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation [PDF]

Sensors, 2015
Textile electrodes are becoming an attractive means in the facilitation of surface electrical stimulation. However, the stimulation comfort of textile electrodes and the mechanism behind stimulation discomfort is still unknown. In this study, a textile stimulation electrode was developed using conductive fabrics and then its impedance spectroscopy ...

20 years of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in COPD

European Respiratory Review
Although a lung disease, COPD is also associated with extrapulmonary manifestations including, among others, limb muscle dysfunction. Limb muscle dysfunction is a key systemic consequence of COPD that impacts patients' physical activity, exercise ...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for mobility support of elderly

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2015
The stimulator for neuromuscular electrical stimulation for mobility support of elderly is not very complicated, but for application within "MOBIL" we have some additional demands to fulfill. First we have specific safety issues for this user group.
