  • Krepitev atrofirane mišice kvadriceps s pomočjo električne stimulacije = Strengthening of human quadriceps muscle by electrical stimulation
    Kolenc, Alenka, 1961- ...
    Muscle atrophy, after prolonged immobilization, is wellknown problem in the clinical situation. Muscle wasting and changes in muscle contractile properties as an increase in speed of contraction, and ... decrease of fatigue resistance due to inactivity appear. Strengthening until normal functions are obtained after cast removal is needed. Muscle force could be improved by physical exercising or application of electrical stimulation. In order to reveal normal contractile properties, electrical stimulation with the proper choice of firing pattern is required. Six subjects with muscle atrophy lasted for many years despite their physical exercising took part in the investigation. As an effect of electrical stimulation the significant increase in muscle force has been observed, but recovery of strength was not complete in all subjects. Following the fatigue resistance factors could be concluded that there was no influence on changes in muscle contractile properties. Strengthening of atrophied muscle using electrical stimulation shorten rehabilitation period, what is very helpfull especially in recovering frequent injuries in sportsmen.
