When to Consult

  • Quadriceps inhibition after knee surgery or ACL reconstruction
  • Muscle wasting from prolonged immobilisation or casting
  • Neurological conditions causing muscle weakness
  • Post-stroke or spinal cord injury needing motor re-education
  • Athletes seeking targeted activation for performance gaps
  • Busy professionals needing efficient adjunct to home exercise

Understanding EMS in the Indian Context

Muscle inhibition and atrophy are common after surgery, injury, or prolonged rest. Hyderabad patients juggling work and family often miss the volume of exercise needed to restore strength quickly. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (EMS) bridges the gap by recruiting muscle fibres with controlled electrical pulses.

Ajuda Hospitals uses clinical EMS to complement physiotherapy, adhering to APTA and Indian Association of Physiotherapists guidelines. Sessions are tailored to orthopaedic, neurological, and sports populations, ensuring safe, measurable progress for patients in Hyderabad and surrounding districts.

When to Consult Our EMS Specialists

⚠️ Seek emergency care if you observe:

  • ✓ Sudden loss of muscle function with red flags like fever or trauma
  • ✓ Severe swelling, redness, or infection at surgical sites
  • ✓ New neurological deficits needing medical evaluation

For chronic weakness, post-op rehab, or performance enhancement, schedule EMS to accelerate results alongside strengthening.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Muscle Activation Mapping

Strength tests, EMG, and functional tasks reveal inhibited muscles.

Safety & Contraindication Review

We confirm no pacemakers, metal implants, or skin issues in the treatment zone.

Motor Point Identification

Electrodes are positioned using palpation and motor point charts for efficient recruitment.

Parameter Customisation

Frequency, pulse width, and duty cycle match goals: strength, endurance, or motor re-education.

Treatment Pathways

EMS is integrated into a comprehensive plan: early-stage NMES, mid-stage strength circuits, and late-stage performance drills. We pair it with manual therapy, BFR, and neuromuscular training. Home units are provided with tele monitoring for patients returning to Warangal, Nalgonda, or Karimnagar.

What to Expect: Your Care Journey

Each session includes electrode placement, warm-up, EMS cycles, and functional exercises. You will see muscles contract visibly; therapists coach you to contract simultaneously for better gains. Progress is tracked via dynamometers and functional tests, with adjustments based on tolerance.

Technology & Innovation

Ajuda's EMS units offer multiple waveforms, EMG biofeedback, and Bluetooth syncing. Data logs feed into the EMR, allowing cross-branch therapists to replicate settings. For athletes, we integrate EMS with force plate analysis to track power gains.

Preventing Complications

Without EMS, inhibited muscles may delay rehab, risking compensations and re-injury. EMS expedites activation, preventing chronic weakness and supporting joint stability. Combined with nutrition and sleep coaching, it shortens downtime.
