Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the Muscles Surrounding the Shoulder

Physical Therapy, 1986
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can be used to augment range-of-motion, strengthening, and facilitation treatment programs of the muscles surrounding the shoulder. The purposes of this article are 1) to describe the uses of NMES around the shoulder joint as developed through our clinical use and 2) to detail the effects of an NMES program ...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation for motor relearning in hemiparesis

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2003
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation may have an important role in improving the motor function of stroke survivors. Active, repetitive movement training mediated by transcutaneous cyclic and EMG-triggered NMES may facilitate the motor recovery of stroke survivors. Multicenter, double-blinded, randomized clinical trials should be pursued to confirm the

Electrical neuromuscular stimulation in dysphagia: current status

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2010
To assess current information regarding the physiological effects of transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) on the neck and current evidence regarding the clinical effects of adding TES to dysphagia rehabilitation.Physiological studies have demonstrated that when electrical stimulation is applied on the throat it will lower the hyo-laryngeal ...

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation: implications of the electrically evoked sensory volley

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) generates contractions by depolarising axons beneath the stimulating electrodes. The depolarisation of motor axons produces contractions by signals travelling from the stimulation location to the muscle (peripheral pathway), with no involvement of the central nervous system (CNS).

Interleaved Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

2016
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to produce contractions to restore movement and reduce secondary complications for individuals experiencing paralysis. NMES is traditionally delivered through electrodes over a muscle belly (mNMES) or superficial nerve trunk (nNMES). Unfortunately, both methods are limited by rapid fatigability of the

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Critically Ill Patients

2017
The intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW) is one of the most frequently complications after ICU admission. The resulting sequelae may occur even years after discharge from the ICU, unfortunately there are scanty data about effectively treatment that can counteract the muscle deconditioning.
