Intended purpose
An assembly of mains electricity (AC-powered) devices used to apply various modes of electrical stimulation transcutaneously to treat/prevent neuromuscular symptoms and disorders typically as a form of physical therapy. It typically includes an electric current pulse generator, electrodes/probes, audible and/or visual displays, and software. It may provide biofeedback and/or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to treat pain. It is typically used to prevent muscle atrophy, for muscle re-education, to relax muscle spasms, to improve blood circulation, for post-surgical calf muscle stimulation to prevent venous thrombosis, and/or to maintain or increase range of motion.
