“…Similarly, distinct training responses and adaptations have been observed following sub-tetanic low frequency NMES (LF-NMES, 4-5 Hz) and HF-NMES exercise [5,26]. Although repeated HF-NMES can enhance muscle strength and structure, repeated exposure to LF-NMES has been shown to enhance aerobic energy metabolism [27], which can lead to improvements in functional endurance [28] and peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak ) in healthy and clinical patient populations [21,29]. However, despite NMES having these capabilities, current NMES exercise prescription in cancer does not meet exercise recommendation guidelines for enhancing physical function and health.…”

Aim: The aim of this narrative review is to explore design considerations for effective neuromuscular electrical stimulation exercise prescription in cancer rehabilitation, with simultaneous consideration for fundamental principles of exercise training and the current state of the art in neuromuscular electrical stimulation technologies and application methodologies. Method: Narrative review. Results: First, we consider the key neuromuscular electrical stimulation exercise design considerations, with a focus on training objectives and individual training requirements and constraints for individuals with cancer. Here, we contend that concurrent, low and high frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation exercise, individually prescribed and progressed may be optimal for enhancing physical function. Second, we review the appropriate literature to identify the most appropriate stimulation parameters (pulse frequency, intensity, duration and duty cycle) to deliver effective neuromuscular electrical stimulation in cancer rehabilitation. Conclusions: We propose an informed and innovative neuromuscular electrical stimulation exercise intervention design and provide practical information for clinicians and practitioners who may work with and implement neuromuscular electrical stimulation exercise in cancer. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is an emerging technology in cancer rehabilitation to help provide an aerobic and muscle strengthening exercise stimulus. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation may help improve aerobic exercise capacity, muscle strength and augment quality of life. Current prescription in cancer lacks adherence to the fundamental principles of exercise training, which may negatively affect adherence.

“…Clásicamente, la NMES se ha empleado para mejorar la fuerza y resistencia muscular (Veldman, Gondin, Place, & Maffiuletti, 2016). En las investigaciones seleccionadas los resultados obtenidos manifiestan la potenciación de estas propiedades -mayor intensidad vocal, aumento en el tiempo máximo fonatorio, facilidad para lograr tonos agudos en registro modal y disminución de la fatigabilidad (LaGorio et al, 2010;Guzman et al, 2014;Gorham-Rowan & Morris, 2016)-.…”

Los agentes físicos son elementos naturales o artificiales que se aplican para el tratamiento de determinados síntomas o patologías. En la rehabilitación vocal su estudio es un área emergente, donde las revisiones sistemáticas y los meta-análisis son escasos. Esto, muchas veces, dificulta la toma de decisiones y la correcta elección por parte del clínico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el rol de los agentes físicos en la rehabilitación vocal. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura a través de la búsqueda de artículos en las bases de datos PubMed, EBSCOHost y Scielo. Se establecieron criterios de elegibilidad según tipo, año y características de los estudios. Se evaluaron 603 artículos, de los cuales, luego del análisis de su título, abstract y del cumplimiento de los criterios de elegibilidad, se seleccionaron 16. Se entregan resultados en base a la cantidad de participantes, nivel de evidencia, tipo y configuración del agente físico, procedimientos e instrumentos de evaluación y beneficios obtenidos. Los agentes físicos de mayor utilización en la clínica vocal son la electroterapia (TENS y NMES) y la laserterapia. En general, estos actúan como coadyuvantes en la terapia vocal. La TENS reduce el dolor, la tensión laríngea y la percepción de voz apretada durante la fonación. La NMES beneficia la activación neuromuscular de las cuerdas vocales y el uso de láser permite la recuperación de los tejidos laríngeos posterior a tareas de sobrecarga.

“…Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the transcutaneous application of electrical currents to a muscle group thereby depolarizing motor neurons and resulting in actual muscle contraction [81]. Because this modality can generate involuntary muscle tension, it is frequently used as a passive surrogate of active training in several populations.…”

“…Dirks et al [16] found that NMES increased MPS and inhibited the activation of protein degradation pathways in subjects with knee immobilization for 5 days, thereby preventing muscle mass loss [16]. In addition, NMES increases muscular and functional resistance especially in clinical patients [81], as well as muscle oxidative capacity [19] and VO 2max [44,80]. In addition, similar to endurance training, NMES increases antioxidant capacity [26,27], therefore proving useful in reducing the redox imbalance elicited by disuse periods [57].…”

Background Recovery from sport injuries commonly involves a muscle disuse situation (i.e., reduction in physical activity levels sometimes preceded by joint immobilization) with subsequent negative effects on muscle mass and function. Purpose To summarize the current body of knowledge on the effectiveness of different physical strategies that are currently available to mitigate the negative effects of muscle disuse during recovery from sports injury. Methods A narrative review was conducted to summarize the information available on neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), blood flow restriction (BFR) and vibration intervention. Results The concomitant application of BFR and low-intensity exercise has shown promising results in the prevention of disuse-induced muscle atrophy. Some benefits might also be obtained with BFR alone (i.e., with no exercise), but evidence is still inconclusive. NMES, which can be applied both passively and synchronously with exercise, can also attenuate most of the negative changes associated with disuse periods. In turn, the mechanical stimulus elicited by vibration seems effective to reduce the loss of bone mineral density that accompanies muscle disuse and could also provide some benefits at the muscle tissue level. Conclusions Different physical strategies are available to attenuate disuse-induced negative consequences during recovery from injury. These interventions can be applied passively, which makes them feasible during the first stages of the recovery. However, it would be advisable to apply these strategies in conjunction with low-intensity voluntary exercise as soon as this is feasible.
