Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on the Duration of Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory care, 2021
BACKGROUND: It has been proposed that neuromuscular or functional electrical stimulation may have effects on respiratory muscles through its systemic effects, similar to those produced by exercise training. However, its impact on the duration of invasive

Direct electrical stimulation impacts on neuromuscular junction morphology on both stimulated and unstimulated contralateral soleus

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Background There is increasing evidence of crosstalk between organs. The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a peripheral chemical synapse whose function and morphology are sensitive to acetylcholine (ACh) release and muscle depolarization.

Is Electrical Stimulation Useful for Patients with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy? A Mini-review

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2023
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a hereditary progressive neuromuscular disease of childhood. The survival rate of DMD patients is extremely low. In physiotherapy, electrical stimulation is frequently applied to rehabilitate these patients.

Intervention effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on ICU acquired weakness: A meta-analysis

International Journal of Nursing Science, 2020
Objective The early use of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to prevent intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critical patients is still a controversial topic. We conducted a systematic review to clarify the effectiveness of NMES in
