A comparison of neuromuscular electrical stimulation parameters on increasing corticospinal excitability
DownloadFall 2013
In this thesis, experiments that investigated the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) parameters on corticospinal (CS) excitability are described. The NMES-induced afferent volley can increase CS excitability, which can facilitate neurorehabilitation. However, literature...

Fall 2010
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on corticospinal (CS) excitability in humans. NMES delivered at 100 Hz was more effective for increasing CS excitability than 10-, 50-, or 200-Hz NMES. CS excitability increases...

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...

Fall 2016
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to produce contractions to restore movement and reduce secondary complications for individuals experiencing paralysis. NMES is traditionally delivered through electrodes over a muscle belly (mNMES) or superficial nerve trunk (nNMES)....

Where electrical stimulation is delivered affects how contractions are generated in the tibialis anterior muscle
DownloadFall 2012
This thesis describes experiments designed to investigate how motor units in tibialis anterior (TA) were recruited when electrical stimulation was applied over the TA muscle belly versus the common peroneal nerve trunk. The data from the first study (Chapter 2) showed that contractions were...
