6.  Electro Myograph Generated (EMG) Triggered NMES involves: Active movement to reach established EMG threshold to activate NMES Functional Activities NMES contracting muscles on a preset schedule, does not require active participation Placing a sling on the patients arm

7.  Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is: Active movement to reach established EMG threshold to activate NMES Cyclic NMES during functional movements and functional activities NMES contracting muscles on a preset schedule, does not require active participation Placing a sling on the patients arm
