PURPOSE: Foot drop still occurs in clinical practice, including in our case. Treatments for foot drop vary based on its etiology and severity of symptoms. Hence, in intractable foot drop cases, an invasive surgical intervention is needed. Here, we introduce a special noninvasive technique to treat our patient's foot drop. In this approach, we applied STIMPOD NMS460 neuromuscular stimulator device (STIMPOD NMS460), which is a low-frequency (10 Hz or less) transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device with a pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) component...

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the Stimpod electromyograph neuromuscular blockade monitor to mechanomyography, which is widely considered to be the reference standard. METHODS: The Stimpod electromyograph was used with its designated electrode array on the same hand as the mechanomyograph. Pairs of train-of-four measurements were recorded every 0.5-2 min. When the train-of-four count was zero on the electromyograph monitor, pairs of post tetanic count measurements were recorded every 2...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the ratio of the train-of-four (TOF) and double burst stimulation (DBS) obtained with three-axial acceleromyography (AMG) and mechanomyography (MMG) in dogs during recovery from a rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, experimental study. ANIMALS: A total of six intact healthy adult male Beagle dogs, weighing 9.1 ± 1.9 kg and aged 3-5 years. METHODS: Dogs were anesthetized with intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine and propofol, and isoflurane in oxygen...

BACKGROUND: Train-of-four twitch monitoring can be performed using palpation of thumb movement, or by the use of a more objective quantitative monitor, such as mechanomyography, acceleromyography, or electromyography. The relative performance of palpation and quantitative monitoring for determination of the train-of-four ratio has been studied extensively, but the relative performance of palpation and quantitative monitors for counting train-of-four twitch responses has not been completely described...

Quantitative neuromuscular block (NMB) assessment is an internationally recognised necessity in anesthesia care whenever neuromuscular blocking agents are administered. Despite this, the incidence of residual neuromuscular block and its associated major respiratory morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high considering its preventable nature. Recent surveys show that quantitative NMB assessment is not consistently employed by anesthesiologists. Availability, price and practical concerns are some of the factors determining this phenomenon...

PURPOSE: Current methods of assessing nerve blocks, such as loss of perception to cold sensation, are subjective at best. Transcutaneous nerve stimulation is an alternative method that has previously been used to measure the current perception threshold (CPT) in individuals with neuropathic conditions, and various devices to measure CPT are commercially available. Nevertheless, the device must provide reproducible results to be used as an objective tool for assessing nerve blocks. METHODS: We recruited ten healthy volunteers to examine CPT reproducibility using the Neurometer(®) and the Stimpod NMS450 peripheral nerve stimulator...
