Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS)
Electronic Muscle Stimulators (EMS), also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) or electrotherapy, are devices that use electrical impulses to stimulate muscles.
- Muscle Rehabilitation: EMS devices are commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation settings to aid in the recovery of injured or weakened muscles. They can help prevent muscle atrophy and improve muscle strength after surgery or injury.
- Pain Management: Electrical stimulation can help modulate pain signals, providing relief for individuals experiencing chronic pain or discomfort.
- Orthopedic Conditions: EMS can be incorporated for patients with orthopedic conditions such as muscle strains, sprains, or tendon injuries.
- Sports Medicine: EMS is utilized in sports medicine for muscle conditioning and recovery. Athletes may use these devices to complement their training, reduce muscle soreness, muscle training, development and toning. It also improves blood circulation.
