Home-Based Functional Electrical Stimulation Rescues Permanently Denervated Muscles in Paraplegic Patients With Complete Lower Motor Neuron Lesion
Helmut Kern,Ugo Carraro,Nicoletta Adami,Donatella Biral,Christian Hofer,Claudia Forstner,Michaela Mödlin,Michael Vogelauer,Amber L. Pond,Simona Boncompagni,Cecilia Paolini,Winfried Mayr,Feliciano Protasi,Sandra Zampieri +13 more
TL;DR: Home-based FES of denervated muscle is an effective home therapy that results in rescue of muscle mass and tetanic contractility and important immediate benefits for the patients are the improved cosmetic appearance of lower extremities and the enhanced cushioning effect for seating.

Michaela Mödlin,Claudia Forstner,Christian Hofer,Winfried Mayr,Wolfgang Richter,Ugo Carraro,Feliciano Protasi,Helmut Kern +7 more
TL;DR: In the clinical study 27 spinal cord injured individuals were included, furthermore 13 pilot patients participated, and after a series of initial examinations they underwent an electrical stimulation program for their denervated lower limb muscles.

Denervated Muscles in Humans: Limitations and Problems of Currently Used Functional Electrical Stimulation Training Protocols
Helmut Kern,Christian Hofer,Michaela Mödlin,Claudia Forstner,Doris Raschka-Högler,Winfried Mayr,H. Stöhr +6 more
TL;DR: Contrary to the current clinical knowledge, the project was able to stimulate and train denervated muscle 15-20 years after denervation and the estimated amount of muscle fibers that have to be restored is about 2-4 million fibers in each m.

In vivo assessment of conduction velocity and refractory period of denervated muscle fibers.
TL;DR: Stimulation needle electromyography was used to study the muscle fiber conduction velocity and refractory period in patients with long-term denervation of the lower limb muscles due to lesion of the conus cauda or cauda equina, suggesting that electrical stimulation training is effective to improve the electrical properties of the muscle Fiber.
