Article: Effect of Patterned Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation on Vertical Jump in Collegiate Athletes This article presents research evidence regarding PENS (patterned electrical neuromuscular stimulation) and it’s effects on vertical jump of athletes. Please show a-e. a.) background b.) purpose c.) methods d.) results e.) conclusion Lastly, Reflect on the article. What did you learn? What made sense? What did you not understand or was confusing? What did you agree or disagree with? Do you have follow-up questions? How does this data apply to clinical practice? Will you clinically use this data?
In UMN lesions the response of the paralyzed muscles to electrical stimulation is :-a- exaggeratedb- inhibitedc- not changedd- is absent
The disease poliomyelitis (po′le-o-mi′˘e-li′tis) destroys motor neurons, causingloss of muscle function and even flaccid paralysis. Some patients recoverbecause axon branches form from the remaining motor neurons. Thesebranches innervate the paralyzed muscle fibers to produce motor unitswith many more muscle fibers than usual. How does this reinnervation ofmuscle fibers affect the degree of muscle control in a person who hasrecovered from poliomyelitis?
Fasciculations of lower motor neuron lesions :-a- are caused by injury currents initiated in the denervated muscle fibersb- can be recorded by electromyogramc- consist of asynchronous contraction of the muscle fibers composing a motor unitd- develop later than fibrillations of the muscle fibers

After death, calcium pumps no longer function and the calcium ion concentration of muscle fiber cytoplasm increases. The result is rigor mortis a state or postmortem muscle contraction. Explain why this contraction occurs and why it ends only when myosin heads begin to break down.
