Good or Bad Ideas?

Electric muscle stimulators, which claim to strengthen muscles and
even, help weight loss, are bogus at best and harmful at worst. According to a report on MSNBC, the impulse created by the weakest machines is too feeble to do any good at all, while the strongest, cranked up high, is potentially dangerous. Physical therapists do use electric stimulators to aid in muscle rehabilitation. However, unlike the clinical setup, home models do not restrain the limb that contains the muscle being shocked into contraction,and this creates the possibility of injury. Even more seriously, people can misuse the machine by putting the transmission pads on their chests or necks, where blood vessels carry blood to and from the heart and head. Think heart attack or stroke, and you’ll get the idea of why such devices are dangerous.
