Electrical muscle stimulators are devices designed to stimulate muscle contractions using electrical impulses. These impulses mimic the signals that the brain sends to muscles during physical activity. These devices consist of electrodes that are placed on the skin, delivering controlled electrical currents to targeted muscle groups. They’re commonly used in physical therapy and rehabilitation to prevent muscle atrophy and maintain muscle strength in individuals who are unable to engage in conventional exercise due to injury or illness. Additionally, electrical muscle stimulators have gained popularity in fitness and sports performance training as a complementary tool to enhance muscle strength, endurance, and recovery.

Types of Muscle Stimulators

Take a look at the kinds of electrical stimulators available through MFI Medical, and decide which one is best for your practice. 

TENS Stimulators

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) stimulators are devices that use low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain. TENS units work by sending electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, which then travel along nerve fibers, effectively blocking pain signals from reaching the brain and triggering the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. TENS stimulation is commonly used to alleviate acute and chronic pain conditions, including back pain, arthritis, and post-surgery discomfort. It offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain management and is often favored for its convenience and ability to provide immediate relief.

Therapeutic Ultrasound Muscle Stimulators

These devices integrate electrodes and ultrasound dopplers, providing a more sophisticated approach to treatment. By utilizing dopplers and ultrasound monitors, they can pinpoint problem areas, allowing precise application of electrical stimulus. While some muscle stimulators are available separately from the ultrasound components, it's important to select the option that aligns best with your practice requirements.

Amrex offers a wide variety of muscle stimulation and ultrasound devices, with different voltage levels and types of stimuli. Some muscle stimulators are sold separately from the ultrasound components, so be sure to choose which best fits your practice needs.

Therapeutic Accessories

Although the sizes of TENS and therapeutic ultrasound stimulators may differ, there are numerous accessories designed to ensure the smooth operation of any size stimulator. Amrex provides a practical cart for easy transportation of ultrasound/stimulators within a clinic setting, while Chattanooga offers carrying bags to enhance portability outside the clinic environment. Furthermore, these devices require leadwires, electrodes, and various cords to function optimally. Explore the Type filters on the left to discover the essential leads, electrodes, and cords compatible with your specific device.
