In the rapidly evolving field of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), selecting the right waveform is critical. VMS, exclusive to Chattanooga® electrotherapy devices, has recently gained attention for its benefits over other waveforms. This white paper delves into the advantages of VMS electrical muscle stimulation compared to alternative choices, shedding light on its potential to revolutionise patient treatments.

From attenuating atrophy to enhancing muscular strength and performance, NMES has long been utilised for therapeutic purposes. However, the effectiveness of NMES hinges on various factors, notably waveform selection. While traditional waveforms like Russian, biphasic, and monophasic have been the norm, VMS introduces a new paradigm with its optimised symmetrical biphasic waveform. Offering adjustable parameters and versatile delivery options, VMS stands out for its ability to increase muscle contractile forces, reduce fatigue, and enhance local circulation, making it a compelling option for both rehabilitation and performance enhancement.
