 In this study, manual pressure applied to the electrodes during neuromuscular electrical stimulation, NMEs, reduced the amount of current needed to produce maximal torque while also decreasing the level of discomfort experienced by the participant. Additionally, greater reductions in current intensity and discomfort were observed in participants with higher subcutaneous fat levels when applying manual pressure to the electrodes.
