To produce significant changes in biochemical parameters and overall body composition it would be necessary the electrical stimulation of the upper limbs in combination with the rest of the abdominal musculature or electrical stimulation programmes combined with physical exercise, so a greater number of muscles are recruited with a more generalised effect.</p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The increase of muscle strength in both lower limbs was associated to a significant increase of the muscular area of the quadriceps, as well as in a significant decrease of fat. The mechanisms involved in this structural muscle change are: Increased oxygen supply to tissues, greater production of vascular endothelial growth factors (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">vascular endothelial growth factor</span>), increased synthesis of some proteins related to muscle metabolism such as <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">insulin growth factor</span>-1 or the inhibition of myostatin, as well as the decrease in certain proinflammatory cytokines such as interferon γ or interleukin 6 caused by repeated and continuous electrical stimulationl.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0385"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">37–40</span></a></p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite these significant muscle findings, no significant changes were observed in the total area. These finding may be attributed, to the short duration of the specific programme of muscular hypertrophy (only 2 weeks), to the level of contraction intensity used throughout the study, as well as to the high muscle atrophy; however, we cannot either rule out errors in the measurements. Perhaps a longer-term NMES programme or perhaps the use of supplementary examinations not based on anthropometric muscle estimation formulas, such as ultrasound, computed tomography or muscle magnetic resonance imaging, intended to measure muscle and body composition changes, could more accurately detect total muscular anthropometric changes.</p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Both the 6MWT and the STS10 are functional tests widely used in clinical practice as indicators of quadriceps muscle strength.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0235"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7,22,23</span></a> On the other hand, the quadriceps is the largest muscle in the lower limbs. Functionally, it is a powerful knee joint extender, hip flexor and knee stabiliser necessary for walking. Thus it participates in walking, running and jumping. The application of an NMES programme resulted in a significant increase in the distance covered in the walk test in the EMS group alone. This finding demonstrates the fundamental role of NMES in the strengthening of the lower limbs. Interestingly, we obtained no significant changes in the STS10 test; this could be attributed to the great variation of results obtained in the test, the difficulty in actually performing the STS10 in this particular type of patients in HD, as well as the limited number of patients. However, unlike the CO group, which used more time, the results of the EMS group showed shorter time to perform the test. This illustrates some extent, the favourable effect of the NMES programme on this functional test.</p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">It is worth noting the efficacy, safety and the easy application and management of our NMSE programme during the HD sessions; we had no dropouts or unfavourable effects throughout the study.</p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Among the many limitations of our work, we should mention the absence of randomisation of the study groups, although this allocation was conditioned by the absence of external financing or additional resources, so it seemed reasonable, in the opinion of the authors, to assign the patients according to the daily nursing care burdens. Also noteworthy is the small sample size, which obliged the use of non-parametric tests, as well as the short duration of the NMES programme, although they are similar, in terms of number and duration, to those previously published. Unfortunately, we did not have more sophisticated methods (DEXA) in our unit for the evaluation of muscle composition. Thus there is still a need to perform better designed studies to establish the exclusive role of NMES in the long term and its potential beneficial effects in this type of patients.</p><p id="par0205" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In conclusion, intradialysis NMES of both quadriceps safely and effectively improved the muscle strength, functional capacity and muscle composition of our patients in HD. Pending future studies, NMES is a novel therapeutic alternative to improve the physical condition and muscle composition of these patients, especially in those where the performance of an intradialysis physical exercise programme is difficult or contraindicated.</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0115">Conflicts of interest</span><p id="par0210" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres818650" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Objective" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Results" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec815697" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres818651" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:5 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Objetivo" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Material y métodos" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0045" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0050" "titulo" => "Conclusiones" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec815698" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Material and methods" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Neuromuscular electrical stimulation" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Demographic, biochemical data, nutritional and anthropometric parameters" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Muscle strength and functional capacity" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Body composition analysis (electrical bioimpedance)" ] ] ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0035" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0040" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0045" "titulo" => "Conflicts of interest" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack274708" "titulo" => "Acknowledgements" ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2015-08-31" "fechaAceptado" => "2016-05-04" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec815697" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Neuromuscular electrical stimulation" 1 => "Body composition" 2 => "Haemodialysis" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec815698" "palabras" => array:3 [ 0 => "Electroestimulación neuromuscular" 1 => "Composición corporal" 2 => "Hemodiálisis" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Introduction</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Haemodialysis (HD) patients are characterised by significant muscle loss.
