Conclusion?

“It has been demonstrated that FES can alter COP during max pressure in running gait after an 8-week training programme, although carry over effect appears limited and further testing is required.”

What does this mean?

Functional stimulation of a muscle during activities can increase available muscle recruitment overall, carry over has been seen initially, though we do not know how long these effects will last.

How does this effect me?

If a muscle is lagging behind overall and not recruiting well during a given evaluation task, functional E stimulation is helpful for increasing participation of a lacking muscle group.

How can CORE help?

CORE in Omaha is helpful for all types of issues related to asymmetries or imbalances. Overall, functional stimulation can be very helpful at times for many athletes. Its up to us to do the thinking for you, and progress with testing and treatment as needed. We will utilized all of the tools of the trade to help you get better as fast as humanly possible. The Doctors as CORE Physical Therapy and Sports Performance in Omaha have decades of experience with the athletic population.

We normally use Electrical stimulation during ACL rehab, quad tendon rupture and repair, achilles tear and repair, RC tendon repair and chronic pain, patellar and scapular thoracic pain and diskenesia. It can be a vital aid in back pain rehab as well.

Abstract

Introduction: Ankle sprain is a common injury that can have long-term sequelae resulting in pain, swelling and a reduction of physical activity participation. Previous research has shown a laterally deviated centre of pressure (COP) during running gait increases the risk of lateral ankle sprain. As a method of altering COP, electrical stimulation has been considered.

Method: A group of 14 healthy males were randomly allocated to case control groups which were single blinded. The intervention involved an 8-week training programme of functional electrical stimulation to the peroneal muscles during treadmill running, with a sham control group. Outcomes were COP position and star excursion balance test. Statistical analysis was through SPSS using a combination of MANOVA, T-tests and Wilcoxon signed rank.

Results: There was a significant difference in the results post intervention at max pressure for intervention M = 0.7(±0.7) and control M = -6.0 (±4.6) conditions; t(6) = -2.9, p < 0.05.

Conclusion: It has been demonstrated that FES can alter COP during max pressure in running gait after an 8-week training programme, although carry over effect appears limited and further testing is required.
