Review of Electrotherapy Devices for Use in Veterinary Medicine
نویسنده
چکیده
Electrotherapy devices used for rehabilitation provide an electrical current that activates sensory and motor neurons to reduce pain and improve tissue repair after injury or surgery. For most equine applications, neuromuscular electrical stimulators (NMES) are the most appropriate devices. NMES produce controlled motor and sensory responses both superficial and deep while maintaining a high level of compliance by the horse.
