Conditions
Interventions
conventional physiotherapy
Conventional physiotherapy is a treatment method that includes exercise training, hotpack, ultrasound and TENS (electrotherapy) applications.
NMES
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a non-invasive method that activates intramuscular nerve branches and produces visible contractions through surface electrodes placed on skeletal muscles.
Superimposed NMES
Superimposed NMES technique is the use of NMES with voluntary muscle contraction.
