“…22 The basic theoretical premise of electrical muscle stimulation is that if the peripheral nerve can be stimulated, the resulting excitation impulse will be transmitted along the nerve to the motor endplates in the muscle, producing a muscle contraction, which will have an eventual effect on muscle hypertrophy and strength. 51 Aerobic exercise and local muscle strengthening are recommended as core components in the management of hip osteoarthritis, [9][10][11] however, voluntary exercise may be inhibited by pain during joint loading. During electrical stimulation of the knee extensors, it was possible to achieve muscle activation and full range of motion in the majority of participants, with only two reports of pain.…”

Introduction Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) could provide an alternative or adjunct treatment modality to induce muscle hypertrophy in the hip osteoarthritis population. This preliminary study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of NMES to evoke involuntary muscle contractions in adults with advanced hip osteoarthritis. Methods Thirteen adults with moderate-to-severe hip osteoarthritis and fifteen healthy, older adults were invited to a lab-based testing session. NMES was applied unilaterally to the knee extensors and hip abductors for one continuous, five-minute testing session. Data were collected on device acceptability, tolerability and muscle contractile force, and compared between groups. Results Electrical stimulation of the knee extensors elicited a visible muscular contraction in 11 participants (85%) with hip osteoarthritis and 15 controls (100%) at an intensity acceptable to the participant. Electrical stimulation of the hip abductors elicited a muscular contraction in eight participants (62%) with osteoarthritis, and ten controls (67%). Muscle contractile force, pain, discomfort and acceptability did not differ between groups, however NMES of the knee extensors was favoured across all measures of assessment when compared to the hip abductors. Conclusions Electrical stimulation of the knee extensors may be a feasible and acceptable treatment modality to address muscle atrophy in adults with advanced hip osteoarthritis.

“…On the other hand, a rehabilitation program including NMES must be accompanied by functional task to guarantee the eventual success of the intervention (Azman and Azman, 2017). Although there is controversy regarding the additional benefits of “superimposed” NMES in trained subjects vs. voluntary exercise alone, the former could be effective in untrained subjects or in patients who cannot mobilize appropriately (Paillard et al, 2005).…”

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation: A New Therapeutic Option for Chronic Diseases Based on Contraction-Induced Myokine Secretion

Myokines are peptides known to modulate brain neuroplasticity, adipocyte metabolism, bone mineralization, endothelium repair and cell growth arrest in colon and breast cancer, among other processes. Repeated skeletal muscle contraction induces the production and secretion of myokines, which have a wide range of functions in different tissues and organs. This new role of skeletal muscle as a secretory organ means skeletal muscle contraction could be a key player in the prevention and/or management of chronic disease. However, some individuals are not capable of optimal physical exercise in terms of adequate duration, intensity or muscles involved, and therefore they may be virtually deprived of at least some of the physiological benefits induced by exercise. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is emerging as an effective physical exercise substitute for myokine induction. NMES is safe and efficient and has been shown to improve muscle strength, functional capacity, and quality of life. This alternative exercise modality elicits hypertrophy and neuromuscular adaptations of skeletal muscles. NMES stimulates circulating myokine secretion, promoting a cascade of endocrine, paracrine, and autocrine effects. We review the current evidence supporting NMES as an effective physical exercise substitute for inducing myokine production and its potential applications in health and disease.

“…У дослідженні [1] показано, що електрична та/або електромеханічна стимуляція відіграють значну роль в регенерації функціональних можливостей в м'яких тканинах, таких як сухожилля, м'язи і нерви. В роботі [2] пояснюється, як електрична стимуляція може впливати на об'єм та розмір м'язів, м'язовий тонус, м'язову атрофію і м'язову силу. Розглядається різновиди електричної стимуляції (ES) -нейром'язова електрична стимуляція (NMES) та крізьшкірна електрична стимуляція (TES), коли електричний струм застосовується для стимуляції нервів або нервових закінчень, які іннервують м'язи під шкірою.…”
