Effects of electrical stimulation-induced leg training on ...
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › 12383078Six individuals with a spinal cord injury performed 10 weeks of electrical stimulation leg cycle training (30 min d (-1), 3 d week (-1)). The paralyzed vastus lateralis muscle showed significant alterations in skeletal muscle characteristics after the training, indicated by an improvement in total work output (52-112 kJ; P < 0.05), an increase in fiber cross-sectional area (18 to 41 x 10 (2) microm (2); P < 0.05), a reduction in the percentage of type IIX fibers (75% to 12%; P < 0.05), a ...

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov › 34881678Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation of the legs in patients with heart failure. Methods: Data were obtained from PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases until August 12, 2021. We included randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effects of functional electrical stimulation applied to the legs of patients with heart failure, namely changes in cardiopulmonary function, muscle strength, and quality of life.
