Determining the Effects of Electrical Stimulation on Functional Recovery of Denervated Rat Gastrocnemius Muscle using Motor Unit Number Estimation
Abstract
The use of electrical muscle stimulation to treat denervated muscle prior to delayed reinnervation has been widely debated. There is evidence showing both positive and negative results following different protocols of electrical stimulation. In this study we investigated the role electrical stimulation has on muscle reinnervation following immediate and delayed nerve repair using motor unit estimation techniques. Rat gastrocnemius muscle was …
