Fatigability and variable-frequency train stimulation of human skeletal muscles.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The quadriceps femoris (QF) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles are often activated through the use of electrical stimulation by physical therapists. These 2 muscles are fundamentally different in regard to their fiber-type composition. Whether protocols developed using a given muscle can be applied to another muscle has seldom been questioned, even if they differ in fiber...
متن کاملVariable-frequency-train stimulation of skeletal muscle after spinal cord injury.
Skeletal muscle, after spinal cord injury (SCI), becomes highly susceptible to fatigue. Variable-frequency trains (VFTs) enhance force in fatigued human skeletal muscle of able-bodied (AB) individuals. VFTs do this by taking advantage of the "catch-like" property of skeletal muscle. However, mechanisms responsible for fatigue in AB and SCI subjects may not be the same, and the efficacy of VFT s...
متن کاملCatchlike property of rat diaphragm: subsequent train frequency effects in variable-train stimulation.
A high-frequency burst of pulses at the onset of a subtetanic train of stimulation allows skeletal muscle to hold force at a higher level than expected from the extra pulses alone because of the catchlike property of muscle. The present study tested the hypothesis that the presence and degree of force increase induced by a high-frequency burst are strongly modulated by the subsequent train freq...
متن کاملHigh-frequency submaximal stimulation over muscle evokes centrally generated forces in human upper limb skeletal muscles.
Control of posture and movement requires control of the output from motoneurons. Motoneurons of human lower limb muscles exhibit sustained, submaximal activity to high-frequency electrical trains, which has been hypothesized to be partly triggered by monosynaptic Ia afferents. The possibility to trigger such behavior in upper limb motoneurons and the potential unique role of Ia afferents to tri...
متن کاملEffect of Variable and Constant-Frequency Train in Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Stimulation
We tested the hypothesis that increased hemodynamic augmentation and mechanical performance could be achieved by using a variable frequency pulse train (VFT) to stimulate the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM), compared to the conventional constant frequency pulse train (CFT) used in cardiomyoplasty. In dogs (n = 6), a vascular delayed LDM was wrapped posteriorly around the heart. LDM was conditione...
