MENS
From Free net encyclopedia
A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator (also microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulator) is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body. Such devices apply extremely small (less than 1000 micro-amps) electrical currents to nerves using electrodes placed on the skin.
MENS uses include treatments for age-related macular degeneration, wound healing, tendon repair, and ruptured ligament recovery. Since most of the treatments concentrate on speeding up healing and recovery, the largest current use is for professional athletes. A large number of companies manufacture such devices for both professional and personal use.
