A new drug-free, minimally invasive intervention targets the root cause of progressive loss of neural function in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA), an inherited neuromuscular disease.

Among elite football players, atrophy may persist in the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles 2 years after ACL surgery. Results highlight the importance of isolated muscle strengthening after ACL ...

In a small human trial in SMA patients neurostimulation sessions improved motoneuron function, reduced fatigue, and improved leg muscle strength and walking.

2002; Thomas, 2007). Currently, no drug treatment for muscle wasting is available, with exercise and ample protein intake being the only bona fide intervention to slow muscle loss (Sepulveda et al., ...
