摘要

Electrical stimulation of innervated muscles has been investigated for many decades with alternations of high and low clinical interest in the fields of rehabilitation medicine and sports sciences. Early work demonstrated that afferent fibers have lower thresholds and are usually activated first (therefore eliciting an H-reflex). In the case of nerve trunk stimulation, the order of recruitment is mostly conditioned by the axonal dimension and excitability threshold. In the case of muscle motor point stimulation, the spatial distribution of nerve branches plays a predominant role. Sustained stimulation produces a progressive increase of force that is often maintained in subsequent voluntary activation by stroke patients. This observation suggested a facilitation mechanism at the spinal and/or supraspinal level. Such facilitation has been observed in healthy subjects as well, and may explain the generation of cramps elicited during stimulation and sustained for dozens of seconds after the stimulation has been interrupted. The most recent interpretations of facilitation resulting from peripheral stimulation focused on presynaptic (potentiation of neurotransmitter release from afferent fibers) or postsynaptic (generation of “persistent inward currents” in spinal motor neurons or interneurons) mechanisms. The renewed attention to these phenomena is once more increasing the interest toward electrical stimulation of the neuromuscular system. This is an opportunity for a structured investigation of the field aimed to resolving elements of confusion and controversy that still plague this area of electrophysiology.
