  • Title: The effect of low-frequency electrical stimulation on denervation atrophy in man.
    Author: Boonstra AM, van Weerden TW, Eisma WH, Pahlplatz VB, Oosterhuis HJ.
    Journal: Scand J Rehabil Med; 1987; 19(3):127-34. PubMed ID: 2831623.
    Abstract:
    The effect of low frequency electrical stimulation (LES) on denervation atrophy and recovery of the muscles was examined in a group of 73 patients with a single or a combined total lesion of the median, ulnar or peroneal nerves. The differences between the patients were evaluated by means of clinical muscle force testing, EMG, dynamometry (ulnar and median nerve lesions), computer tomography (ulnar nerve lesions) and ultrasonography (median and peroneal nerve lesions). A beneficial effect of LES could not be shown.
