Haemodynamic performance of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during recovery from total hip arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Patients post total hip arthroplasty (THA) remain at high risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) during the recovery period following surgery despite the availability of effective pharmacological and mechanical prophylactic methods. The use of calf muscle neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) during the hospitalised recovery period on this patient group may be effective ...
متن کاملNeuromuscular electrical stimulation during recovery from exercise: a systematic review.
The use of subtetanic low-intensity neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for the purpose of promoting recovery from exercise has increased in recent years. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effects of NMES on exercise recovery. A computerized database search of PubMed, CINAHL Plus, Sport Discus, and Cochrane Library electronic databases was conducted for the time period...
متن کاملEffect of tendon vibration during wide-pulse neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on the decline and recovery of muscle force
BACKGROUND Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used to activate skeletal muscles and reverse muscle atrophy in clinical populations. Clinical recommendations for NMES suggest the use of short pulse widths (100-200 μs) and low-to-moderate pulse frequencies (30-50 Hz). However, this type of NMES causes rapid muscle fatigue due to the (non-physiological) high stimulation intens...
متن کاملEffects of preoperative neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps strength and functional recovery in total knee arthroplasty. A pilot study
BACKGROUND Supervised preoperative muscle strengthening programmes (prehabilitation) can improve recovery after total joint arthroplasty but are considered resource intensive. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown to improve quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) strength and clinical function in subjects with knee osteoarthritis (OA) however it has not been previously investigate...
متن کاملEffect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on tibialis anterior in children with cerebral palsy
The aim of this work was to investigate the efficacy of using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied on tibialis anterior in ambulant children with cerebral palsy (CP). The present work was designed as a controlled longitudinal study to compare the effect of treatment with or without NMES applied to 20 ambulant children with diplegic and hemiplegic CP. The stimulation group receive...
