Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES): What it is, how it is applied and a summary of evidence

This lecture discusses the electrophysical modality of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation or ‘NMES’: what it is, how it should be applied, its proposed mechanism of action and the contraindications to it. Scientific research investigating the therapeutic effectiveness of NMES for a range of musculoskeletal injuries is outlined.
