Neuromuscular electrical stimulation has been used to aid musculoskeletal recovery. Excessive oxidative stress and excitoxicity are implicated in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. A 52-year-old white female with SPMS had been scooter- and cane-dependent for 4 years. She requested and received a trial of neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Two months after initiating NMES the patient a...

BackgroundNeuromuscular electrical stimulator (NMES) devices increase blood flow to the lower limb by a process of intermittent muscular contraction initiated transdermal stimulus common peroneal nerve. However, its effects on localized microvascular supply wounds are unknown. This study is single-center open label measuring effect neuromuscular stimulation nerve within wound bed arterial leg u...

[Purpose] The effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the rehabilitation of swallowing remains controversial. This study compared the effectiveness of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and thermal tactile oral stimulation, a traditional swallowing recovery treatment, in patients with sub-acute dysphagia caused by stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects of the present study w...

Residual neuromuscular blockade in the postoperative period contributes to significant morbidity and possibly mortality. The incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade has been shown to decrease with the use of neuromuscular monitoring and short acting neuromuscular blocking drugs. Because of marked variation in patient's sensitivity to neuromuscular blockade, the neuromuscular function of th...

Dysphagia is a complication that often occurs and triggers the occurrence of aspiration pneumonia death from stroke. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) muscle strengthening therapy sensorimotor recovery with can improve swallowing function. This study aims to find evidence effectiveness NMES on function in stroke patients dysphagia. The method used this research systematic review throu...

This issue of the Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development provides a snapshot of the progress that has been achieved in the research and application of functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) taken at the Fourth International Conference on Motor Prostheses at Deer Creek Conference Center, Mt. Sterling, Ohio, in July 1994. The objective of that conference was to facilitate the deve...
