Introduction to Denervation and the RISE Stimulator
At Anatomical Concepts, we have witnessed the profound impact of denervation on muscles. If you want to learn more and how we address this problem then please read on.
Denervation, which refers to the loss of nerve supply to a muscle, can occur due to various reasons, such as peripheral nerve injuries or lower spinal cord injuries that affect what are called the lower motor neurons.
Nerves serve as the electrical wiring of our body, transmitting signals from the brain to muscles and instructing them to contract or relax. When a muscle loses its nerve supply, it's like unplugging a lamp from an electrical outlet, rendering it unable to function properly.
Untreated denervation can lead to muscle atrophy, which is characterised by muscle shrinkage, weakening, and loss of nerve supply. Over time, natural muscle fibres are replaced with collagen and fat, resulting in an inability to contract. This adversely affects long-term health.
However, there is good news. Denervation can be effectively treated using specialised electrical stimulation techniques, such as the RISE Stimulator.
By directly sending electrical signals to muscle fibres and bypassing damaged nerves, this innovative device keeps muscles active and prevents atrophy and structural changes. It acts as a backup generator, stepping in when the main power supply is out. Research shows that muscle tissue normalisation and muscle bulk can be achieved through training, ideally starting within 18 months of an injury. However, even long-term injuries can benefit from this approach.
Dealing with denervation is undoubtedly challenging, but it's not without hope. With the right tools, like the RISE Stimulator, and a proactive treatment approach, you can maintain healthy and functional muscles.
We have produced a series of videos that you can review (using the links in this document). on using the RISE Stimulator. Although written with a therapist in mind, they are generally not too difficult to follow.
Please consult our website for details of the RISE product, background research and much more.
