History of direct muscle electrostimulation
Physiological applications of motor electrostimulation began in the 19th century, with Duchenne de Boulogne. Using the technique of inductive currents developed by Faraday in 1831 (faradic currents), Duchenne de Boulogne meticulously described muscle kinesiology and its limits: “If it is true that electromuscular exploration can help to know exactly the actual action of a muscle, I must say that it seldom teach what are the other muscles involved in the physiological movement it is bound to
Historique de l’électrostimulation musculaire directe
Les applications physiologiques de l’électrostimulation motrice ont débuté au xixe siècle avec Duchenne de Boulogne. Appliquant la technique des courants par induction mise au point par Faraday en 1831 (courant faradique), Duchenne de Boulogne s’attache à une observation minutieuse de la cinésiologie musculaire, tout en en soulignant les limites : « en effet, s’il est vrai que l’exploration électromusculaire peut faire connaître exactement l’action propre d’un muscle, je dois faire observer que

2018, PM and RCitation Excerpt :Moreover, the combined application of NMES and VC might be more effective than NMES or VC alone [18]. Recent studies have suggested that a hybrid training system (HTS) that combines applications of NMES with VCs (NMES-VC) is effective in improving coordination of muscle activation and accelerating rehabilitation programs compared with NMES alone [18,20]. The HTS electrically stimulates antagonist muscles to contract eccentrically, providing resistance for the agonist muscle group during exercise [21].

2017, NefrologiaCitation Excerpt :In some cases, due to its clinical characteristics and the associated comorbidity, patients are unable to perform physical exercise programmes. The few studies published in the literature regarding the role of NMES, mainly in patients with chronic heart failure or lung disease, show favourable effects on muscle composition and functional capacity.29–31 In addition, they appear to be easy to apply and safe without serious complications.14,16,32
