These things have been around for a while, IIRC.
Basically, you hook up a pad or pads to places on
your body, adjust the level of muscle contraction you
think you need, and off you go "exercising " your
muscles while you ... walk the dog, read a book, ...
I have several questions:
1. How the heck do these things get approval?
2. What standards include these devices?
3. How in the heck do you label these things
for warnings? I.e. languages?
4. Is there any evidence continued electrocompulsive
activation of muscle causes any sort of permanent
nerve damage?
5. Is there some sort of history with these things
regarding failures and injuries to the users?
