Leading brand of uk made electrotherapy devices including tens nmes emg and ets machines which have been shown to be of value in the relief of pain and in helping patients to recover or improve muscle control and tone after accident or illness.
Stimulators electrical neuromuscular.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes produces regular contractions of paralyzed muscles and can produce changes such as blood flow and muscle size in regularly stimulated muscles that may increase the health of the target muscle and surrounding soft tissues taylor et al 1993.
Electrical muscle stimulation ems electrical current applied to muscle improves its activation especially when injury or surgery has caused inhibition due to pain in turn enhancing muscle strengthening blood flow and assists with reducing swelling.
However every stimulation works with the following principles.

If you re first wondering what electrical stimulation actually is and why it s great hit the link.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes is a proposed treatment for dysphagia that involves electrical stimulation of swallowing muscles to improve muscle strength coordination and swallowing function 2 3 electrodes are placed on the skin over the anterior neck muscles and small amounts of electrical current are delivered in order to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing.
Frequency amplitude and pulse width.
For the purpose of rehabilitation neuromuscular electrical stimulation is typically used in conjunction with other methods of physical therapy.
In response to requests from physiotherapists for guidance on optimal stimulation of muscle using neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes a review synthesis and extraction of key data from the literature was undertaken by six canadian physical therapy pt educators clinicians and researchers in the field of electrophysical agents.
Neuromuscular orthotics specialises in the complex orthotic management of neuromuscular disorders.
Electrical muscle stimulation ems also known as neuromuscular electrical stimulation nmes or electromyostimulation is a electrical muscle stimulation ems also known as neuromuscular electrical stiprotocol that elicits a muscle contraction using electrical impulses that directly stimulate your motor neurons.
We are 100 australian owned operated and our head office is located in clayton victoria.
Machines can be small portable and battery powered can be dedicated clinic units or indeed nmes functions are available on almost all multi function electrotherapy machines examples of which are illustrated below.
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is done by passing an electrical impulse from a device through electrodes placed on the skin over the targeted muscle or muscles.
