Pressure on the Electrode to Reduce Discomfort During Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Individuals With Different Subcutaneous-Fat Thickness: Is the Procedure Effective and Reliable?

The addition of manual pressure on the electrode during neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used to reduce current intensity and perceived discomfort. In this study we aimed to test i) whether this approach affect the reliability of commonly made torque output measurements and ii) w...
