SFEMG

SFEMG stands for Surface-based Functional Electrical Muscle Stimulation. It is a non-invasive method that uses electrodes placed on the skin to deliver electrical impulses to muscles. These impulses mimic the signals sent by the brain, causing the targeted muscles to contract. The primary goal of SFEMG is to improve muscle function, strength, and endurance, or to assist with movement. It is often employed in rehabilitation settings to help individuals recover from injuries, strokes, or neurological conditions that impair muscle control. The stimulation can be used to re-educate muscles, prevent atrophy, manage spasticity, or enhance functional activities. The parameters of the electrical stimulation, such as intensity, frequency, and duration, are carefully adjusted based on the individual's condition and therapeutic goals. SFEMG is considered a safe and effective treatment modality when administered by trained professionals. It can be used to target specific muscle groups or larger areas of the body. The technology behind SFEMG involves specialized devices that generate and deliver the electrical current through surface electrodes. Patient response and progress are monitored to optimize treatment outcomes.
