As being a person who is suffering from multiple sclerosis I'd love to have this device on my weak leg.

Was thinking the same thing for me father. I'm also curious if there's something in this same path for the muscle tone many suffer from. Like if you could use this to help the opposite muscle to overcome tone issues. My dad has his legs basically locked up without drugs and the drugs knock him out.

Ever tried cannabis by prescription? Your dad can take it before going to bed and doesn't need to be stoned while awake.

I don't think he's tried it. Does it help with muscle tone?

Yep. My wife tells me since I take it on a daily basis before going to bed I have less twitches in my legs. And from my own experience I can tell you: your sleep will become much more restful and longer. At the weekends sleeping for ten hours per night won't be a challenge - on average.

Most PT offices use a much smaller version of electric stim. I’ve done it often for my knees. Helps tremendously, even if it feels weird in the moment.
