As these studies demonstrate, NMES is most effective when: • Initiated early in the rehab process, ideally as soon as swelling and pain allow • Used regularly over several weeks (e.g., 3x/week for 6 weeks, as in the study above) • Applied at an intensity sufficient to achieve meaningful muscle contraction, often targeting 50% of the patient’s MVIC (maximum voluntary isometric contraction)
Electrode placement and stimulation parameters should be tailored to the specific muscle group and clinical goals. Consistency in delivery is key to ensuring measurable gains in both structure and function.
