When electrical impulses are used for elicitation of muscle contraction, the process is known as electrical muscle stimulation. An electrical device generates these impulses that are delivered to the target muscle area through electrodes. Muscle contraction resulting from electrical impulses is said to mimic the central nervous system action.
Technically, you can call electrical muscle stimulation as muscle training as well as electrotherapy. Currently, electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) devices are regulated by the FDA. In last few years, the adoption of EMS techniques for weight loss programs and support equipments has increased manifold.
