Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) generates contractions by depolarising axons
beneath the stimulating electrodes. The depolarisation of motor axons produces …

Aim Short periods of muscle disuse, due to illness or injury, result in substantial skeletal
muscle atrophy. Recently, we have shown that a single session of neuromuscular electrical …

Key points Oxidative stress is widely considered a major cause of muscle loss not only in
disuse but also in most chronic diseases, triggering carbonylation of proteins and activation …

Motor impairment is common after stroke and directly impacts the stroke survivor's function
and quality of life. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) may reduce disability by …

The clinical success of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for neuromuscular
rehabilitation is greatly compromised by the poor consideration of different physiological and …

Key points Skeletal muscle atrophy occurs as a result of disuse. Although several studies
have established that a decrease in protein synthesis and increase in protein degradation …

Key points• It is still debated whether an imbalance between production and removal of
reactive oxygen species is a major trigger of disuse skeletal muscle atrophy in human limb …

Background The mechanisms through which neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)
training may improve limb muscle function and exercise tolerance in COPD are poorly …

This review provides evidence for the hypothesis that electrostimulation strength training
(EST) increases the force of a maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) through neural …
