Deep tissue injury (DTI) is particularly serious subtype of pressure ulcer that first starts in the muscle layers over bony prominences as a result of unrelieved loading. Intermittent electrical stimulation (IES) induced muscle contractions have shown potential for prevention of DTI through...

Peripheral and central contributions to evoked contractions during neuromuscular electrical stimulation
DownloadFall 2013
The present thesis examined two general questions regarding neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES): 1) How can the delivery of NMES be optimised to enhance synaptic motor unit recruitment via reflex pathways (central pathways) and 2) Can motor unit recruitment through central pathways...
