• IInd century BC ! ! !
History
 Use of torpedo fishes to relieve pain
• XVIIIth : Galvani’s experience on a frog
 First demonstration of NMES !!!
• 1880-1980 : large technologic advances…
 Empirical approach based on experimentations
 Many different currents : shapes, frequencies…
 Discomfort and low efficiency
• From the 80’s :
 Rational approach based on scientific understanding
 Safe, comfortable, efficient NMES current !

Spatial Recruitment and voluntary work-out
• Hennemann principle (size principle)
– Smallest > Largest
– Slow twitch fibers > Fast twitch fibers
• Fast twitch fibers are involved if contractions reach 75%
of the maximal strength
