About the Technology: Electrostimulation
How does it work?
The operating principle of electrostimulation is very simple and faithfully reproduces the processes involved in muscle contraction under the control of our brain. When we decide to contract a muscle, the brain sends the order in the form of electrical currents that travel at high speed along the nerve fibers. At the end of the run, these electrical currents excite the motor nerve, which then passes the information to the immediate surroundings of the muscle, triggering a muscle contraction.
With electrostimulation, the excitation is directly produced at the motor nerve by means of 'optimal' electrical impulses that guarantee efficacy, safety and comfort in use. Thanks to this process, the muscle cannot distinguish between a voluntary contraction (caused by the brain) and an electrically induced contraction: the work that it produces is the same irrespective of the nature of the order. |
