Exercise training comprises a variety of modalities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In the last 10 years, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has attracted the interests of clinicians as a novel rehabilitative approach. Because of a limited impact on ventilatory requirements and dyspnea, NMES appears as a promising alternative to general physical reconditioning in patients with advanced COPD. In this review, the technical aspects of electrostimulation, its clinical benefits in COPD, and the potential mechanisms of action have been discussed.
运动训练包括多种针对慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）患者的方式。在过去十年中，神经肌肉电刺激（NMES）作为一种新型康复方法引起了临床医生的关注。由于对通气需求和呼吸困难的影响有限，NMES似乎是晚期COPD患者进行一般身体康复的一种有前景的替代方法。在这篇综述中，已经讨论了电刺激的技术方面、其在COPD中的临床益处以及潜在的作用机制。
