2005). Int J Clin Exp Med. This study represents the first step in a project whose long‐term aim is to develop electrical stimulation strategies that can maximize FES performance. Only a few studies have investigated the relationship between stimulation intensity and muscle fatigue. Analysis of functional electrical stimulation parameters by muscular contraction time and knee joint angular variation. The Physiological Society | Hodgkin Huxley House | 30 Farringdon Lane | London EC1R 3AW, UK. 5). Each testing session consisted of ‘fatiguing trains’ and pre‐ and postfatigue ‘testing trains’. 6A). The pulse durations used for repetitive stimulation during protocols 2 and 3 were 150 ± 22 and 131 ± 24 μs, respectively. 2005). Pulse Duration (msec) = # of cycles x period (msec). Neuro-fuzzy Modeling of Multi-field Surface Neuroprostheses for Hand Grasping. 2004). Since protocol 1 used the fewest number of pulses and generated the fewest action potentials, the least ATP utilization by the Ca2+‐ATPase and Na+–K+‐ATPase reactions also occurred during protocol 1 (Marsden et al. 2002). 3A), the last fatiguing train of protocol 1 produced the highest and the last fatiguing train of protocol 3 produced the lowest peak force for this subject (Fig. Two trials per pulse duration (n ⫽ 6); 4, low-frequency TENS (4Hz), high filament were given.24 Before injection of carrageenan, the intensity (motor), 100-µsec pulse duration (n ⫽ 8); 5, high- baseline withdrawal force was 600mN in 87% of the animals frequency TENS (100Hz), low intensity (sensory), 250-µsec and 250mN in 13% of the animals. The percentage decline in peak forces between pre‐ and postfatigue 60 Hz testing trains at the same pulse duration as used for the fatiguing trains (left) and at 600 μs pulse duration (right) This stimulation train or ‘burst’ was superimposed on the volitional contraction to ensure that the subjects were truly generating maximal force. Next, the MVIC force was recorded using the burst superimposition technique (Snyder‐Mackler et al. All prefatigue 20 Hz:60 Hz peak force ratios were significantly different from the postfatigue ratios (P < 0.05). 1998; Hogan et al. Twelve healthy individuals (6 males and 6 females) aged 22–30 years participated in the study. A 3-factor (frequency, intensity, pulse duration) repeated-measures (time) design was used to analyze the changes in PWL. Functional Electrical Stimulation in Rehabilitation and Neurorehabilitation. A model for transcutaneous current stimulation: simulations and experiments. Learn about our remote access options, Physical Therapy, 301 McKinly Laboratory, University of Delaware, Newark, DE 19716, USA. Average peak forces produced in response to the 20 Hz testing trains at the pulse duration of the fatiguing trains for protocols 1, 2 and 3, respectively, were 363.2 ± 117.7, 175.0 ± 55.1 and 162.6 ± 53.9 N (prefatigue) and 224.7 ± 68.4, 73.6 ± 24.7 and 41.9 ± 17.1 N (postfatigue). Specifically, the present results should help in the design of future studies involving patient populations where complex stimulation strategies that modulate both the frequency and pulse durations will be tested. Data were collected from 12 healthy individuals (6 males and 6 females). I called micros() at every interrupt in order to get the pulse duration, but it was too imprecise. The present findings support the hypothesis that when the same initial peak force is generated using different combinations of frequency and pulse duration, and when the frequency and pulse duration are kept constant throughout repetitive stimulation, repetitive stimulation with a long pulse duration (600 μs) and low frequency (11.5 ± 1.2 Hz; protocol 1) would maximize isometric performance by minimizing muscle fatigue. Different combinations of stimulation frequency and intensity can generate a targeted force during functional electrical stimulation (FES). Echosounder settings were as follows: pulse duration 0.3 ms, pulse repetition rate 10 Hz, frequency bandwidth 10 kHz. The isometric force output of the quadriceps femoris muscle was recorded via a force transducer placed against the anterior aspect of the lower leg, 5 cm proximal to the lateral malleolus. The results showed that protocol 1 produced the least decline in peak force in response to the fatiguing trains, as well as the least muscle fatigue and low‐frequency fatigue when the pulse duration was maintained at the level used by the fatiguing trains. Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism. Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology. 1997; Taylor et al. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Pulse duration does not change with depth, thus it cannot be changed by the sonographer. Since Godfrey et al.

Pain relief can occur at various frequencies. All 12 subjects were successfully able to complete the MVIC testing during the first session in one or two attempts. Epub 2006 Jul 27. Pairwise post hoc comparisons using the least squared difference (LSD) were performed only if the ANOVA showed significant differences. Effect of electrostimulation training-detraining on neuromuscular fatigue mechanisms. (2002) found greater fatigue during stimulation at supra‐ compared to submaximal intensities. American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. For example by increasing the pulse width while decreasing the amplitude. Since protocol 1 recruited the most motor units, and all three protocols generated the same target peak force, the least amount of force was generated by each active muscle fibre during protocol 1.
