WEEK 7


Electronic Muscle Stimulation EMS - for rehab




Electro muscular stimulation is a simple and effective way to give a good amount of stimulation to an injured muscle without having to put any structural joint or tendon at risk from exercise. EMS or stim units are electrical devices which have conductive pads that you can place on a particular muscle that you want to stimulate and contract.

Maximum recruitment of type IIb muscle fibre through electro muscular stimulation. The contraction through electromuscular stimulation will be very intense and isometric in nature, this has two advantages,

1. It allows maximum stimulation without movement around a joint therefore not causing any stress on injured araes

2. It can preferentially recruit the type IIb - fast twitch muscle fibre which are the fibres we train for maximum power and strength.

*We can do this due to the way ems units by pass our own voluntary capacity for muscle recruitment.
