Neuromuscular electrical stimulation. An overview and its application in the treatment of sports injuries Lake DA.In sports medicine, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used for muscle strengthening, maintenance of muscle mass and strength during prolonged periods of immobilisation, selective muscle retraining, and the control of oedema. A wide variety of stimulators, including the burst-modulated alternating current (‘Russian stimulator’), twin-spiked monophasic pulsed current and biphasic pulsed current stimulators, have been used to produce these effects. Several investigators have reported increased isometric muscle strength in both NMES-stimulated and exercise-trained healthy, young adults when compared to unexercised controls, and also no significant differences between the NMES and voluntary exercise groups. It appears that when NMES and voluntary exercise are combined there is no significant difference in muscle strength after training when compared to either NMES or voluntary exercise alone. read more... |

Dressing to Look LeanWhen I was growing up, my mom picked out the clothes I would wear to school every morning. I really didn't have a choice. "You will wear this with that . . .." I didn't have a choice, unless it was a Friday! I couldn't wait for Friday to come--for many obvious reasons, but one big one was that I could wear anything I wanted!
