Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation of the Lower Limbs in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Abstract: Increasing physical activity is a widely-known method of rehabilitation of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, what kind of procedure is to be applied if a patient suffers from advanced heart or respiratory failure, cannot undertake physical exercise due to locomotor system disorders or is currently undergoing respiratorotherapy? Recent research shows that neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the lower limb skeletal muscles (NMES) may comprise… Show more

“…It is now time to fill this gap! The experience gained from exercise physiology studies should now be redirected to pathological applications; good examples come from cardiorespiratory and internal care medicine where chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients and critically ill patients are increasingly stimulated to preserve their muscle mass and function (Vivodtzev et al 2008;Routsi et al 2010). Additional efforts are needed to identify the most relevant applications of NMES training in the clinical setting, and also to discern its effectiveness and the time-course of neuromuscular adaptations for specific patient populations.…”

“…A corrente russa foi contemplada nesse estudo por ser uma modalidade de eletroestimulação de média frequência (2.500 Hz) com alta tolerabilidade e capacidade de recrutamento de várias unidades motoras de forma sincrônica, gerando força e hipertrofia muscular [26][27][28] . A frequência de 40 Hz foi escolhida pelas características da fibra (mista) do músculo reto abdominal 40,41 e a duração de pulso pelo tamanho, sendo protocolado para músculos longos uma faixa entre 300 e 400 µs, a utilizada foi de 350 µs 7,20,21,25,42 . Os tempos on e off foram determinados de maneira que houvesse recrutamento muscular por um período efetivo com uma margem de segurança, afim de evitar a fadiga, ficando 10 segundos on e 16 off 43 .…”

“…Langer et al 44 relatam o uso da eletroestimulação na melhora da força muscular e capacidade de exercício em pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) em musculatura apendicular. Outros autores encontraram resultados semelhantes nesta população, mas estes estudos tinham como objetivo a melhora de parâmetros cardiovasculares, através do fortalecimento de musculatura distal e não da tosse especificamente 21,25,27 . Lee et al 23 observaram através da eletroestimulação abdominal um incremento da força muscular expiratória em um paciente portador de lesão medular.…”
