NMES

Neuromuscular Electric Stimulation

NMES currents are used to make the muscles contract. This can be helpful for strengthening and training muscles as well as improving blood circulation, increasing joint range of motion, and reducing muscle spasms.

Functional forms of NMES are useful in everyday life for people with foot drop, swallowing difficulties, and for preventing muscle atrophy (loss in size/strength) when immobilized in a cast or after a stroke.
