Efectos de la estimulación eléctrica neuromuscular (EENM) en pacientes post Covid 19: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

The health conditions of patients with post COVID-19 syndrome, favor prolonged rest, which is greater with mechanical ventilation (MV), sedatives and relaxants. The stay in MV can be prolonged and cause physical deconditioning syndrome, with metabolic and systemic deterioration due to prolonged immobilization, generating atrophy, loss of strength, endurance and mechanical failure. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) has reported benefits in strength, muscle development, microcirculation and cardiopulmonary mechanics. It is a simple, safe, painless and reproducible technique to improve muscle contractility. A better knowledge of the prescription and effects in patients with post COVID-19 syndrome could favor its use
