NMES - Coggle Diagram

- - - - at least 1 hr/day
      - Minimal to medium contraction
  - - - 15-30 mins/day.
      - Needs strong contraction
  - - - Start at 5-10 mins and build up to 1hr
      - Minimal Contraction
  - - - Use 3-7 times per week. Use for a very short time initially especially in cases of severe atrophy/weakness.
      - Transition Phase
        
        Use 1-3 times per week
        
        Maintenance Phase
        
        Depending on the condition NMES may need to be used as and when necessary as maintenance. If reinstated due to muscle atrophy, you may wish to go back to the induction phase to instigate muscle building.
- - - - Mimics muscle contraction during exercise but with increased repetitions
    - - Type II neurons are larger
        
        Have lower threshold
        
        Fire First
        
        Reverse of natural sequence
