Muscle Stimulator is also known as Muscular electrical stimulation.
Muscle compress of bundle of muscle fibres of there are many nerves that supply each muscle fibre. The nerves and the moment in the muscles. The Freddy current of electro muscle stimulization (EMS).
In electrical muscle stimulation we use surge fardaic current because it does not cause by bursitis to the patient.

2. Definition Neuromuscular and Muscular Electrical Stimulation  (NMES) is a modality that sends electrical impulses to nerves which causes the muscles to contract mimicking the action potential coming from the central nervous system. It may be applied during functional movement or without functional movement. It has been used throughout the years for strengthening and maintaining muscle strength and preventing atrophy, especially with immobilized patients.

3. MOTOR POINTS Motor point is  the most electrically excitable area of the muscle, where a minimum amount of electrical stimulation will easily excite that portion of the muscle. It is usually located at the centre of the muscle mass, where the motor nerve enters the muscle.motor point is the most electrically excitable area of the muscle, where a minimum amount of electrical stimulation will easily excite that portion of the muscle.

4. Benefits of EMS Benefits of EMS include: Decreasing  pain Promote tissue healing Increase  muscle strength Maintaining and regaining muscle activity

5. Indications To improve muscle strength and prevent muscle atrophy. To improve and maintain the range of motion around a joint. To reduce  muscle spasticity  and spasms. To increase cardiovascular function through the activity of large muscle groups.

6. Contraindications when placed over the carotid sinus when the patient has a pacemaker when we have areas of active tissue infection and devitalized skin when the patient is unable to comprehend instructions and provide feedback when the patient is pregnant when the patient has a peripheral vascular disease
