The Neuromuscular Electro Stimulator (e-stim, NMS) is a form of electro-stimulation that concerns both nerves and muscles. Therefore the stimulators in this electro-stimulation category are used to stimulate the underlying nerves to elicit a muscle contraction.

 

Benefits of a NMES system:

  • Reeducation of a targeted muscle group to contract
  • Prevention of fatigue or retardation of certain muscles
  • Maintaining and improving range of motion (ROM)
  • Increasing local blood circulation
  • Immediate application post-op to the calf muscle to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
