Nerve and Muscle stimulator May 2008 - May 2009
Nerve & muscle stimulator provides degeneration & regeneration process in nerves and
muscles system by the use of stimulation current technique.
When there is disease or injury of a motor nerve or muscle, alterations are liable to occur in
their response to electrical stimulation we developed a system where normal muscle and
motor nerve is stimulated with a current of adequate intensity.
