Intensity and Dose of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation Influence Sensorimotor Cortical Excitability

bioRxiv, 2020
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the peripheral nervous system has been largely used in the field of neurorehabilitation to decrease muscle atrophy and to restore motor function in paralyzed patients. The rehabilitative effects of NMES rely

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation in garments optimized for compliance

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2023
Abstract Purpose Physical inactivity is associated with muscle atrophy and venous thromboembolism, which may be prevented by neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). This study aimed to investigate the effect on discomfort, current amplitude and energy consumption when varying the frequency and phase duration of low ...
