Myostimulation is a physiotherapy method that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, improving their tone, strength, and function. This method is widely used in the rehabilitation of children with various neurological disorders, particularly in cases of hypertonus (excessive muscle tension) and hypotonus (reduced muscle activity).
Principles of Myostimulation
Electrical impulses induce rhythmic muscle contractions, which contribute to:
• Improved blood circulation and metabolism in tissues
• Strengthening of neuromuscular connections
• Restoration of motor functions
