  • Title: The effect of isometric short-term electrical stimulation on denervated muscle.
    Author: Nix WA, Dahm M.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 1987 Feb; 10(2):136-43. PubMed ID: 3493430.
    Abstract:
    Electrical stimulation was applied daily for 20 minutes to denervated rabbit extensor digitorum longus muscle. One group was stimulated with short tetani, another with 1-Hz frequency, using isometric contractions for both. Tetanic stimulation induced severe fibrosis and is harmful to denervated muscle. One Hertz stimulation retarded denervation-induced fatigue and atrophy, as well as slowing of contraction time.
