[The use of electromyostimulation for preventing and treating hypodynamic disorders in gunshot injuries to the extremities]. / Primenenie élektromiostimuliatsii dlia profilaktiki i lecheniia gipodinamicheskikh rasstroistv pri ognestrel'nykh povrezhdeniiakh konechnostei.

It was found out during the study of multichannel electromyostimulation (EMS) influence upon human organism and the adequacy of its physical load to adoptive and compensative possibilities of cardiovascular system that that method was effective for prophylaxis of disorders and rehabilitation of nervous and muscular system, and locomotor apparatus after a short period of hypodynamia. The EMS increases the working capacity of nervous and muscular apparatus, mass of muscles and their contraction strength due to improvement of nervous and muscular conductivity and blood supply of the extremity. The efficiency of EMS decreases considerably when degenerative changes are taking place.
