What are the differences between EMS and NMES and how do they impact muscle stimulation and rehabilitation?

EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and NMES (Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) are both forms of electrical stimulation used in muscle rehabilitation. EMS primarily targets muscle fibers to improve strength and endurance, while NMES focuses on stimulating nerves to activate muscle contractions. EMS is often used for muscle building and recovery, while NMES is commonly used for rehabilitation and muscle re-education. Both techniques can be effective in improving muscle function and aiding in recovery, but their specific applications and impacts on muscle stimulation differ.
