What is Neuromuscular Stimulation?

Neuromuscular stimulation is achieved by sending small electrical impulses through the skin to the underlying motor units (nerves and muscles) to create an involuntary muscle contraction.

Neuromuscular stimulation has many uses beyond its traditional application to prevent disuse atrophy, including:

  • Range of motion: As a substitute for passive stretching exercise performed by the patient or therapist.
  • Muscle re-education: For example, teaching a patient how to set his or her quads.

How does Neuromuscular Stimulation work?

Because the stimulation of nerves and muscles may be accomplished by electrical pulses, this modality can help prevent disuse atrophy. Accordingly, incapacitated patients can receive therapeutic treatment to create involuntary muscle contractions thereby improving and maintaining muscle tone without actual physical activity.

The Instrument

The Neuromuscular Stimulator is an easy to use system. A marvel of miniaturized electronics the lightweight power unit transmits electrical pulses through the skin surface and stimulates motor units (nerve and muscles). The electrical impulses are “ramped” so that they closely emulate natural muscle contractions.
