Physical therapy transcutaneous electrical stimulation systems are line-powered devices that deliver controlled electrical pulses through the skin to address neuromuscular conditions. Clinically, they’re used for pain relief (via TENS), muscle re-education, reducing spasms, preventing atrophy, or improving circulation—often in post-op or rehabilitation settings.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, with classification varying by jurisdiction based on intended use (e.g., pain management vs. muscle stimulation). They’re usually supplied as integrated units with electrodes, software, and feedback tools, requiring professional training for safe application.
