Metabolic and morphometric alterations inherent to neuromuscular electric stimulation in the antagonist muscle submitted to ankle joint immobilization

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (ES) on the metabolic and morfometric profile of the tibialis anterior muscle, antagonist to the soleus muscle which was stimulate, under the joint immobilization condition of the ankle for 7 and 15 days....
