• Resumen

  • El concepto de electroestimulación no es nuevo, y los fisioterapeutas lo han empleado durante años en aplicaciones clínicas (rehabilitación muscular, alivio de los espasmos musculares, reducción de la hinchazón, control del dolor). La electroestimulación suele comprender la estimulación de los músculos con impulsos eléctricos de baja frecuencia, gracias a unas almohadillas humedecidas con electrodos pegados firmemente a la piel. La eficacia, comodidad y grado de excitación, dependen de factores como el trazado del pulso, su frecuencia, duración, intensidad y la imagen de su modulación. Siendo aun controvertido su posible valor en el entrenamiento deportivo. Se efectúa en este artículo una revisión bibliográfica del tema
