WHAT CONTROLLED MEDICAL STUDIES SAY ABOUT EMS
"Most programs designed to increase muscle strength involve active exercises carried out by patient in isotonic mode. Although those methodsdo result in an increase of muscle strength, it appears that tetanizing electrical stimulation using farad current is more effective method of building strength in the muscle". (M. Godfrey, M.D) Wellesley Hospital, published in physiotherapy Canada Vol. 31 No. 5.
