What is the effect of artificial electric stimulation on muscle atrophy?

Question

Does it completely reverse atrophy? How (intracellular mechanisms)?

Answer 1

Essentially, you're referring to Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation. This technique is, as I like to think about it ,muscle dialysis in the sense that muscle contractions are being facilitated by someone else instead if the individual with the atrophy. this therapy is designed to preserve muscle protein synthesis and prevent further atrophy.
