This type of stimulation is characterized by a low volt stimulation targeted to stimulate motor nerves to cause a muscle contraction. EMS differs from TENS in that it is designed to stimulate muscle motor nerves, while TENS is designed to stimulate sensory nerve endings to help decrease pain.
The EMS 1000 - Muscle stimulator - is a dual channel device for muscle exercise and treatment of physical injury. It is fully adjustable with analogue dials that are hidden behind the front cover (slides down).
