Muscle Stimulation
Muscle Stimulators are devices that are widely used in chiropractic and physical therapy (rehab) facilities to replicate the same natural muscle movements that are normally carried out through exercising by sending electrical impulses or signals to the selected muscle or muscle groups to contract and relax them.
Using World Wide Medical’s FDA-approved muscle stimulators, the muscle becomes contracted due to the small electric impulses passing through the muscle to cause these contractions. These devices allow freedom of movement to the patients who, unfortunately due to injury or stroke, have loss strength or tone in their muscles and therefore are unable to move independently.
Additionally, these devices are widely used by healthcare practitioners to relax a tight or tense muscle therefore reducing the occurrence of muscle spasms.
