“…The temperature increase observed in our study (0.35 • C) is lower than the one obtained by Toro and Poy [8] with a current of 100 Hz (+3.7 • C), perhaps due to the fact that the study measured the temperature just below the electrodes, thus increasing it. On the other hand, Novotny et al [26] showed an increase in temperature of 0.04 • C after voluntary exercise.…”

“…Other vascular effects have been demonstrated using neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) by applying frequencies close to 8 Hz, and new capillary vessels were formed [7]. In addition to these vascular effects, changes in skin temperature (Tsk) following the application of NMES [6,8] were verified, although these were shown to be very variable, perhaps due to the wide variation in the frequencies or wave used.…”

Neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) has been used mainly as a method to promote muscle strength, but its effects on improving blood flow are less well known. The aim of this study is to deepen the knowledge about the local and contralateral effects of the application of symmetric biphasic square currents on skin temperature (Tsk). An experimental pilot study was developed with a single study group consisting of 45 healthy subjects. Thermographic evaluations were recorded following the application of NMES to the anterior region of the thigh. The results showed an increase in the maximal Tsk of 0.67% in the anterior region of the thigh where the NMES was applied (p < 0.001) and an increase of 0.54% (p < 0.01) due to cross-education effects, which was higher when the NMES was applied on the dominant side (0.79%; p < 0.01). The duration of the effect was 20 min in the dominant leg and 10 min in the nondominant one. The application of a symmetrical biphasic current (8 Hz and 400 μs) creates an increase in the maximal Tsk at the local level. A temperature cross-education effect is produced, which is greater when the NMES is applied on the dominant side. This could be a useful noninvasive measurement tool in NMES treatments.
