Electromyogram-Related Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Restoring Wrist and Hand Movement in Poststroke Hemiplegia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2019
Background. Clinical trials have demonstrated some benefits of electromyogram-triggered/controlled neuromuscular electrical stimulation (EMG-NMES) on motor recovery of upper limb (UL) function in patients with stroke.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for the prevention of venous thromboembolism

Phlebology: The Journal of Venous Disease, 2017
Objective Venous thromboembolism, encompassing deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, affecting one in 1000 adults per year. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is the transcutaneous application of electrical impulses to elicit muscle contraction ...

Electrical Stimulation of the Neuromuscular System

2007
Patients with paralysis or disease of the nervous system can have severe functional deficits. Although rehabilitation and neural regeneration can provide some improvement (Grill and Kirsch, 2000; McDonald and Sadowsky, 2000), there is still a large gap to close in order to restore function.

Safe Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulator Designed for the Elderly

Artificial Organs, 2011
AbstractA stimulator for neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) was designed, especially suiting the requirements of elderly people with reduced cognitive abilities and diminished fine motor skills. The aging of skeletal muscle is characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass, force, and condition.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for the Head-Injured Patient

Physical Therapy, 1983
Recent research has shown that electrical stimulation is effective in treatment programs designed to maintain or gain range of motion, to facilitate voluntary motor control, and to strengthen muscles weakened by disuse. All of these treatment goals are relevant to the head-injured patient who frequently demonstrates profound disuse atrophy, joint ...

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Motor Restoration in Hemiplegia

Topics in Stroke Rehabilitation, 2008
Clinical applications of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in stroke rehabilitation provide both therapeutic and functional benefits. Therapeutic applications include upper and lower limb motor relearning and reduction of poststroke shoulder pain.

Asymptotic optimal control of neuromuscular electrical stimulation

49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010
Muscle fatigue during electrical stimulation onsets early and is comparatively more substantial than during volitional contractions, hindering successful application of functional and therapeutic neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). One of the avoidable causes of muscle fatigue can be attributed to the overstimulation during NMES. In this paper,

Optimizing neuromuscular electrical stimulation for hand opening

Somatosensory & Motor Research, 2019
To investigate the effect of introducing an interphase interval to a biphasic pulse on force production and muscle fatigue, during stimulation of the wrist and finger extensors and to determine whether the IPI effect on force is dependent on electrode position.Electrically-induced contraction forces of the wrist and finger extensors were measured in 15

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

Sports Medicine, 1992
In sports medicine, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used for muscle strengthening, maintenance of muscle mass and strength during prolonged periods of immobilisation, selective muscle retraining, and the control of oedema. A wide variety of stimulators, including the burst-modulated alternating current ('Russian stimulator'), twin ...
