Increases in strength of the quadriceps following the first 2 weeks of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) treatments are most likely secondary to which of the following?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increases in strength following the first 2 weeks of NMES treatments are most likely due to changes in motor unit recruitment. NMES can increase activation of motor units, leading to improved muscle contraction and strength. There is typically not enough time in the first 2 weeks for significant muscle hypertrophy to occur, and changes in nerve conduction velocity or tissue resistance to current are not major contributors to increases in strength.
