Muscle Stimulation

Unfortunately there is a big misconception between what a muscle stimulator is and what is a functional electrical stimulator.   Generally speaking many people seek out a muscle stimulator for the purpose of building muscle tissues for appearance or high performance athletically.   Machines that do that are generally referred to as “Russian stimulators” or a functional restoration machine with high frequency stimulation mode available.   The Infrex FRM is such a machine.

Most people who have suffered a stroke, a broken bone, or muscle atrophy really need a “functional electrical stimulator”.   These machines help restore muscle bulk and function so the patient can relearn or regain control of muscles to achieve functions.   Tens machines are not muscle stimulators as many manufacturers like to claim.

We’ve made a video here that explains the differences in the types of machines.  Watch it here…..
