Wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle can increase venous flow
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps (Q) may increase venous blood flow to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This study assessed whether Q-NMES pants could increase peak venous velocity ... -
Residual substance P levels after capsaicin treatment correlate with tendon repair
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)The aim of the study was to assess healing after capsaicin-induced SP depletion during rat Achilles tendon repair by biomechanical testing. Capsaicin treatment reduced the concentrations of substance P (SP) by ~60% ... -
Prolonged immobilization compromises up-regulation of repair genes after tendon rupture in a rat model
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)It was hypothesized that mobilization versus immobilization after injury would promote tissue healing by regulating gene expression for molecules associated with repair. Cast immobilization versus free mobilization was ... -
High plantar force loading after Achilles tendon rupture repair with early functional mobilization
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Background: Mechanical loading is essential for tendon healing and may explain variability in patient outcomes after Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) repair. However, there is no consensus regarding the optimal postoperative ... -
Knee extensor force production and discomfort during neuromuscular electrical stimulation of quadriceps with and without gluteal muscle co-stimulation
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Purpose: To investigate whether Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) simultaneously applied on the quadriceps (Q) and gluteal (G) muscles, as compared to single Q-stimulation alters the knee extensor force production ...
