Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions. This method is often employed in rehabilitation settings to help patients regain strength and improve muscle function after injury or surgery. NMES can also be used to prevent muscle atrophy in individuals who are unable to move certain body parts. During NMES treatment, electrodes are placed on the skin over the targeted muscles. The device sends electrical signals that mimic the natural signals from the nervous system, causing the muscles to contract. This process can enhance blood circulation and promote healing while also improving overall muscle tone.
