Rest Intervals

Context:Previous studies using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) have suggested that 30-second rest intervals are too short for sufficient recovery.Objective:To compare the effect of rest interval on knee-extension torque production.Design:Counterbalanced mixed design to test independent variable, rest interval; ANOVA to analyze dependent variable, percentage decline.Setting:Athletic training research laboratory.Participants:24 healthy men and women.Intervention:Participants performed knee extension under 2 contraction conditions, maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and NMES with either 30- or 120-second rest between repetitions.Main Outcome Measure:Peak torque produced during each repetition of a 5-repetition set.Results:The main effect for rest interval was significant (F1,23= 30.30,P= .001), as was the main effect for condition (F1,23= 11.18,P= .003).Conclusions:A 120-second rest between repetitions is recommended when using NMES in early rehabilitation because force decline across repetitions with 30-second rest during NMES is greater than with MVIC.

Risk Of Aspiration

Abstract Dysphagia is a common disorder associated with a large number of etiologies like aging, stroke, traumatic brain injury, head and neck cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, structural changes or congenital abnormalities. The type of the treatment and its results depend on the type, severity and the cause of dysphagia. The primary goal of dysphagia treatment is to improve the swallowing process and decrease the risk of aspiration. Along with the existing rehabilitation swallowing treatments, new adjunctive therapy options developed, one of them being the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The authors present the principles of NMES, a small literature review about the results of this therapy and their experience in using transcutaneous NMES in dysphagia patients.
