Estimulación Eléctrica Neuromuscular en

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is the application by placing electrodes of a low-level electrical current which results in a muscle contraction. 

These muscle contractions can be used to mimic strength training for animals that are non-weight bearing or have limited use of a muscle or muscle group. 

NMES is used to decrease muscular pain, prevent atrophy post-surgery or injury, or to increase strength for muscles that have been chronically underutilized. 

NMES is commonly used in paretic dogs or dogs post-surgically before they are weight-bearing and during re-education of ambulation.

Do you have a cat or dog in this situation?
