Neuromuscular electrical stimulation

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is a therapeutic technique that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles. It involves placing electrodes on the skin over muscle groups, which deliver small electrical currents that cause the muscles to contract and relax. This technique is often used in rehabilitation to help strengthen weak muscles, improve circulation, and reduce pain. NMES is beneficial for individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or for those with certain neurological conditions, helping them maintain muscle function and prevent muscle atrophy when they cannot exercise normally.
