VMS™ FR
The VMS-FR version of the VMS waveform is a physiologically based channel interaction in which one channel stimulates the agonist and the other the antagonist of the muscle group that is being exercised.
The agonistic channel initiates the movement with a brief burst of power, followed by a period of sustained activity to complete the movement. The antagonistic channel has a brief burst of power to slow down the initial acceleration of the agonist, followed by a low output to regulate the movement of the agonist. The movement is completed by a final burst of activity in both channels. VMS is a symmetrical biphasic waveform with a 100 µsec interphase interval.
