Neuromuscular electrical stimulation in critically ill traumatic brain injury patients attenuates muscle atrophy, neurophysiological disorders, and weakness: a randomized controlled trial

Journal of Intensive Care, 2019
BackgroundCritically ill traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients experience extensive muscle damage during their stay in the intensive care unit. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been considered a promising treatment to reduce the functional

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation and shortwave diathermy in unrecovered Bell palsy

Medicine, 2020
Background: Unrecovered Bell palsy is difficult to treat, because until now in literature there is not a gold standard. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and shortwave diathermy (SWD) therapy ...

The Physiology of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation

Pediatric Physical Therapy, 1997
A fundamental knowledge of muscle and nerve physiology is crucial to the understanding and appropriate application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for children. This report presents a brief discussion of the physiology and theory supporting the use of NMES, including explanation of various waveforms, factors influencing fatigue, and ...

Modulation of spinal excitability following neuromuscular electrical stimulation superimposed to voluntary contraction

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2020
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) superimposed on voluntary muscle contraction has been recently shown as an innovative training modality within sport and rehabilitation, but its effects on the neuromuscular system are still unclear. The aim of

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation as a Potential Countermeasure for Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Weakness During Human Spaceflight

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Human spaceflight is associated with a substantial loss of skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) evokes involuntary muscle contractions, which have the potential to preserve or restore skeletal muscle mass ...
