  • The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of spinal motor neuron excitability by cranial electrostimulation(CES). The fifteen Sparague-Dawley adult male rats were assigned to the three groups; GroupI(control), GroupII(low rate CES), GroupIII(high rate CES). Spinal motor neuron excitability was measured to use a computerized H reflex. The results of this study was as follows; M latency, M amplitude and H latency were no significant difference in all groups on repeated measured ANOVA(p>.05) but low rate CES and high rate CES groups were lower than ether group in comparative measurement of H amplitude and Hmax/Mmax ratio(p<.05). These results lead to the conclusion that spinal neuron excitability was influenced by CES. These results suggest that CES had the capability to lower spinal motor neuron excitability used synaptic blockade in spinal segment.

  • Medial patellar luxation (MPL) of dog is one of the most common joint diseases. This study performed to know rehabilitative effect after reconstruction as application with intramuscular electrostimulation (IMES) on the cranial part of sartorius muscle. In this study, the 12 dogs with operated medial luxation divided into electrostimulation group (n = 8) and no electrostimulation group (n = 4) measured affected sided range of motion, muscle mass, lameness score and weight bearing for hospitalization 2 weeks. IMES group showed significant results after operation on 5th day (p < 0.01). Except lameness score, IMES group showed significant results on 10th day (p < 0.05). As results, in small sized dog after reconstruction of MPL, IMES on the cranial part of sartorius muscle considered a great help in the initial rehabilitation.
