Reversal of Deep Tissue Injury using Intermittent Electrical Stimulation
Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a dangerous form of pressure ulcer as it causes substantial subcutaneous damage before being detected. There are currently no practical and reliable forms of early detection or reversal of DTI. We propose the use of intermittent electrical stimulation (IES) to reverse the injury before it reaches the skin. Adult rats with spinal cord injury were used to assess the ef...
متن کاملIntermittent Stimulation by Light
1. In the retina, central areas whose diameter is less than 2 degrees possess only cones, while larger areas have rods and cones. In conformity with this, the relation of critical fusion frequency to intensity is a single function for centrally fixated areas below 2 degrees , and a double function for similarly fixated, larger areas. The two sections of such data are easily identified with rod ...
متن کاملFactors in fatigue during intermittent electrical stimulation of human skeletal muscle.
During an electrically elicited isometric contraction, the metabolic cost of attaining is greater than of maintaining force. Thus fatigue produced during such stimulation may not simply be a function of the force-time integral (FTI), as previously suggested. The goal of the present study was to evaluate fatigue produced in human medial gastrocnemius by intermittent, isometric electrical stimula...
متن کاملPrevention of pressure-induced deep tissue injury using intermittent electrical stimulation.
Pressure ulcers develop due to morphological and biochemical changes triggered by the combined effects of mechanical deformation, ischemia, and reperfusion that occur during extended periods of immobility. The goal of this study was to test the effectiveness of a novel electrical stimulation technique in the prevention of deep tissue injury (DTI). We propose that contractions elicited by interm...
متن کاملEffect of Intermittent Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation on the Rat Gastrocnemius Muscle
Low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used as an endurance exercise model. This study aimed to test whether low-frequency NMES increases the phosphorylation of anabolic signaling molecules and induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy, as seen with high-frequency NMES. Using Sprague-Dawley rats, 1 bout of exercise (with dissection done immediately (Post0) and 3 h (Post3) ...
