This review focuses on how blood flow to contracting skeletal muscles is regulated during
exercise in humans. The idea is that blood flow to the contracting muscles links oxygen in …

Lack of neural innervation due to neurological damage renders muscle unable to produce
force. Use of electrical stimulation is a medium in which investigators have tried to find a way …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is commonly used in clinical settings to
activate skeletal muscle in an effort to mimic voluntary contractions and enhance the …

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

Objectives The objective of this review was to summarize and appraise evidence on
functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling exercise after spinal cord injury (SCI), in order …

Electrical stimulation (ES) reverses the order of recruitment of motor units (MU) observed
with voluntary muscular contraction (VOL) since under ES, large MU are recruited before …

Background Rapid muscle fatigue during functional electrical stimulation (FES)-evoked
muscle contractions in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) is a significant limitation to …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in widespread variation in muscle function. Review of motor
unit data shows that changes in the amount and balance of excitatory and inhibitory inputs …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown to generate contractions that
include a central recruitment of motoneurons; however, the effect of pulse width on …

The severe muscle weakness and atrophy measured after human spinal cord injury (SCI)
may relate to chronic muscle denervation due to motoneuron death and/or altered muscle …
