Interventions

DEVICE

NMES

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a non pharmacological intervention that sends electrical impulses to nerves leading to muscle contraction. The electrical stimulation can increase strength and is often used to re-educate or re-train muscles.

DEVICE

TENS

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a nonpharmacological intervention that activates a complex neuronal network to reduce pain by activating descending inhibitory systems in the central nervous system to reduce hyperalgesia.
