ResumoContrary to other widespread forms of electrical stimulation, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and functional electrical stimulation (FES), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is generally delivered to the muscle in static conditions (without functional movement occurring) and at sufficiently high current intensities to evoke visible muscle contractions (beyond motor threshold). NMES has received increasing attention in the last few years, because it has the potential to serve as:
