Decreases in the excitability of motor axons contribute substantially to contraction fatigability during neuromuscular electrical stimulation
DownloadFall 2017
Activity-dependent changes in axonal excitability are well-documented, yet the contribution to contraction fatigability during neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is unclear. The present study was designed to: 1) characterize the magnitude and time course of changes in motor axon...

Does stimulus pulse width influence contraction fatigability during neuromuscular electrical stimulation?
DownloadFall 2019
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to generate contractions of muscles for rehabilitation after injury or disease to restore functional movements or reduce secondary complications of disuse. However, due to the unnaturally high discharge rates and random recruitment order of...
