EMS 7500 How to Use Guide: EMS Therapy Troubleshooting, Pads, Electrodes & Settings
Electrical muscle stimulation, often called EMS or NMES, uses surface electrodes to send controlled impulses through the skin to stimulate motor nerves and produce a muscle contraction. The manual describes EMS as a way to send electronic pulses to the muscle being treated, causing the muscle to contract and relax in cycles.

Chattanooga Electrotherapy Units: VMS Waveform, Battery Power and Clinical Setup FAQ
Chattanooga electrotherapy units are designed for modern, movement-based rehabilitation. Instead of keeping patients on a treatment table while the device stays plugged into the wall, Chattanooga systems help clinicians use electrical stimulation during active therapy, functional exercise, gait training, balance work, and recovery sessions.
Chattanooga Continuum vs EMPI Continuum | Replacement Guide
People comparing the Chattanooga Continuum to the older EMPI Continuum are usually not deciding between two new products. More often, they already own an EMPI device, inherited one from another clinic, or have a rehabilitation protocol based on the discontinued EMPI platform.
VMS Waveform in NMES vs Russian Stimulation
Variable Muscle Stimulation, usually abbreviated VMS™, is Chattanooga’s proprietary neuromuscular electrical stimulation waveform. It is designed to produce controlled muscle contractions through a symmetrical biphasic pulsed current rather than the medium-frequency sinusoidal carrier used by traditional Russian stimulation.
