EMS - Electrical muscle stimulators
E.M.S. stands for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. While using the EMS, the brain
sends a nerve impulse to the "motor point" of your muscle. This signal
is a message to the muscles to expand and contract. Electrodes are placed over
the motor points of the muscle group to be exercised. When the stimulation is
applied through the pads, the signal finds its way to these motor points and
causes the muscle to expand and contract. This makes it possible to duplicate
a conventional exercise, similar to an isometric exercise.
