Electrical Muscle Stimulation in Physical Therapy

Featuring Matthew Powell, MCPA, FCAMT, CGIMS, Physiotherapist

Duration: 1 minute

An EMS machine is a small unit that can produce a current suitable for muscle contraction.

This is very useful in a physiotherapy setting, when we are dealing with someone who is having difficulty initiating or strengthening a specific muscle contraction. This often happens after injury or accident.

By applying the machine appropriately, we can get a current that will pass through one skin electrode, cause a muscle contraction in the underlying muscle, and exit through the other electrode, thereby completing the circuit.

If you questions about electromagnetic stimulation, contact a local physiotherapist.
