?:definition
  • Neuromuscular electrical stimulators designed to apply electrical stimuli to a peripheral muscle and/or nerve while monitoring the response in a different peripheral muscle or nerve. These stimulators typically consist of an electric pulse generator and attached electrodes; most diagnostic neuromuscular stimulators use external electrodes (e.g., handheld bipolar electrodes, ring electrodes), but some also use needle electrodes to obtain very localized activation. Diagnostic neuromuscular stimulators control the duration, amplitude, and frequency of the pulses but usually do not modulate the stimuli signals. They are mainly used for the stimulation of a peripheral nerve or muscle in motor-nerve conduction studies (e.g., posterior tibial nerve) and/or sensory-nerve conduction studies (e.g., ulnar nerve).
