Physiological recruitment of motor units by high-frequency electrical stimulation of afferent pathways.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in rehabilitation, but electrically evoked muscle activation is in several ways different from voluntary muscle contractions. These differences lead to challenges in the use of NMES for restoring muscle function. We investigated the use of low-current, high-frequency nerve stimulation to activate the muscle via the spinal motoneuron (...
متن کاملRecruitment order of motor units on voluntary contraction: changes induced by proprioceptive afferent activity.
Knowledge of the mechanisms regulating the recruitment of individual motoneurones is essential for the understanding of normal versus pathological movements. These mechanisms have been extensively studied in animal experiments; in the decerebrate cat, for example, it has been found that the most important factor in determining the order of recruitment of motor units in reflex activity is the si...
متن کاملControl of epileptic seizures by electrical low frequency deep brain stimulation: A review of probable mechanisms
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disease with no definitive method in treatment. Notably, the main way to treat and control epileptic seizures is drug therapy. However, about 20-30% of patients with epilepsy are drug resistant and require other therapeutic manners. Deep brain stimulation is a new therapeutic strategy for these patients. Conspicuously, there are no clear answers for basi...
متن کاملModulation of motor cortex excitability by different levels of whole-hand afferent electrical stimulation.
OBJECTIVE In a previous transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) study we demonstrated that suprathreshold mesh-glove (MG) whole-hand stimulation elicits lasting changes in motor cortical excitability. Currently, there is no consensus with regard to the optimal parameters for the induction of sensorimotor cortical plasticity using peripheral electrical stimulation. Thus, in the present study we ...
متن کاملTreatment of diabetic gastroparesis by high-frequency gastric electrical stimulation.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term efficacy of high-frequency gastric electrical stimulation (GES) for treating diabetic gastroparesis. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of 48 adult diabetic patients with refractory gastroparesis who had a GES system implanted surgically and had follow-up evaluations at 6 and 12 months. The outcome measures were total symptom scor...
