Not sure what else I can usefully add. There remains considerable controversy re the stimulation of dennervated muscle as a means to enhance recovery. Historically, certainly was a routine treatment as a mean to maintaining muscle function and excitability whilst waiting for the nerve to 'regrow'. Controversy raised in the early 1990's on the basis that the stimulation may serve to slow down the nerve regrowth and ?promote collateral sprouting (as Dr Hoens notes) - both potentially detrimental. Certainly less widely employed in modern practice. Recent paper (Pinheiro-Dardis and Russo (2017). "Electrical Stimulation Based on Chronaxie Increases Fibrosis and Modulates TWEAK/Fn14, TGF-beta/Myostatin, and MMP Pathways in Denervated Muscles." Am J Phys Med Rehabil 96(4): 260-267) demonstrates detrimental effects - though in a rat model. There are numerous others like this. Advice offered by Dr Hoens is sound
