Future studies should further explore the role of NMES to mobilize progenitor cells in relation to strength contraction of the stimulated muscle.
In this study, although muscle strength contraction was not systematically recorded, some patients were hardly responded to NMES (no contraction at all or just palpable contraction), as previously observed [40]; however, all patients, 'responders' and 'non-responders,' were included in the analysis, which, in turn, might be related to the marked variability observed among patients.
In addition, strength contraction and current intensities were not systematically recorded, which could possibly allow for further insight into the potential mechanisms of EPCs mobilization; however, by design, current intensities applied optimally aiming at full muscle contraction were the maximal tolerated by non-sedated and sedated patients, implying maximum applicable contraction in each case.
Only manometry can give information on the strength of contractions.
After a hypnosis induction, suggestions are given for confidence, coping and strength during contractions.
Octopamine increases the strength of contractions of the peritoneal sheath, which will facilitate ovulation of the egg.
The strength of "contraction and convergence" is that it satisfies all these principles.
Compounds that activate the RyR are potential inotropic agents to increase the Ca2+ transient and strength of contraction.
In healthy individuals, cardiac output is adjusted by a rapid increase in the strength of contraction that occurs almost immediately upon an increase in activity.
This response results in the activation of sympathetic nerve pathways that serve to increase the strength of contraction of the heart muscle and to increase heart rate (tachycardia).
