AB Neuromuscular  electrical  stimulation  (NMES)  is  commonly  used  in  clinical  settings  to  evoke  contractions  in  an  effort  to  enhance  the  rehabilitation  of  human  skeletal  muscles.1,2  This  chapter  will  (1)  review  early  training  studies  that  incorporated  NMES  training  of  skeletal  muscle,  (2)  provide  data  to  support  the  idea  that  properly  designed  NMES  training  protocols  can  result  in  improved  neuromuscular  performance,  (3)  provide  guidelines  for  the  implementation  of  NMES  training  for  individuals  with  musculoskeletal  disorders  or  other  conditions,  (4)  provide  an  overview  of  NMES-induced  muscle  recruitment,  and  (5)  outline  some  of  the  drawbacks  associated  with  NMES  training.  This  information  is  intended  to  assist  practitioners  by  providing  evidence-based  treatment  when  utilizing  NMES  to  improve  muscle  size  and  strength.
