Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES)
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) There is an increasing application of long term (i.e. chronic) electrical stimulation in order to modify or change muscle function. This work was initially concentrated around athlete strengthening and function,

www.electrotherapy.orgA third possibility is to stimulate both nerve types at the same time by employing a burst mode stimulation. In this instance, the higher frequency stimulation output (typically at about 100Hz) is interrupted (or burst) at the rate of about 2 - 3 bursts per second. When the machine is ‘on’, it will deliver pulses at the 100Hz
