In neuromuscular diseases it is used to build muscles and support voluntary movement through neuro-facilitation and the activation of muscle systems. This therapy also enables patients to carry out daily tasks with the aid of neuro-ortheses. In the case of peripheral lesions, it helps protect associated muscles from degeneration and keeps them in working order should reinnervation be successful.6deuinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessjournal articleElectrotherapyFunctional electro-stimulationNeuro-orthesesNeuromuscular diseaseTransdermal electric nerve stimulation (TENS)Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and RehabilitationOccupational Therapyhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=33244462602&partnerID=8YFLogxK
