What is the use of neuromuscular electrical stimulator?

The essence of neuromuscular electrical stimulator is to control the nerves of the target muscle group, and it is often used for strength training of waste muscles caused by long-term inactivity, surgery or injury, so as to maintain muscle quality, maintain and increase joint mobility, promote autonomic muscle control and reduce spasm.

On the other hand, it can inhibit some useless muscle atrophy caused by non-neuropathy.

Extended data:

In recent years, commercial neuromuscular electrical stimulators have been developed, and home stimulators can not only be convenient for patients to use, but also improve their independent operability.

By adjusting the related parameters, the neuromuscular electrical stimulator can achieve the purpose of less fatigue and optimal mechanical output. Then, fully understanding the parameter setting can achieve the predetermined functional rehabilitation effect and ensure the safety of patients. Frequency, pulse width, intensity and action time are all important parameters to be explored.

The dosage of neuromuscular electrical stimulator usually varies greatly depending on the muscles to be stimulated, the stimulation parameters applied and the purpose of stimulation, ranging from 30 minutes each time, 1 time per day to 1 time per time, 3 times per day, and the total treatment time ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months. All parameters applied by neuromuscular electrical stimulation must be determined by the rehabilitation therapist according to the rehabilitation goals that the patient has achieved.
