4.3.3. ELECTRICAL MUSCLE STIMULATION (EMS) PROGRAMMES

These programmes, commonly called "neuromuscular electrical stimulation" (NMES) or "elec-
tromyostimulation", emit impulses to cause a muscle contraction. They are especially used for
strengthening the muscle mass. Only perform the electrical muscle stimulation programme
on intact and healthy muscles. Because they involve muscle contraction, they need to be per-
formed at rest (lying or sitting).
When using for the first time, the electrical stimulation can lead to a atypical and strange sen-
sation. It is advisable to begin the programme on low intensity and change to a higher one to
become used to it. The stimulation must remain comfortable and muscle contractions must not
be harsh or painful. If your programme is part of intensive physical exercise or after effort, you
are advised to choose a low intensity to limit muscular fatigue.
