The Percutaneous Electrical Muscle Stimulator (PEMS) is a research capability that provides stimulation of specific muscle groups in a test subject to study muscle atrophy occurring under weightlessness. It is provided by ESA as part of the NASA Human Research Facility. PEMS will be used in conjunction with MARES [Muscle Atrophy Research and Exercise System] for support in the measurement of the intensity of involuntary muscle contractions. Other features include [the] programmable trains of pulses (pulse width, amplitude, time between pulses) [and] the possibility for adding a randomised delay before the first pulse.  2, record 1, English, - percutaneous%20electrical%20muscle%20stimulator

The MARES is aisle mounted, capable of assessing the strength of isolated muscle groups around joints, or complete limbs by controlling and measuring interrelationship between position/velocity and torque/force as a function of time. It has interfaces to the US Lab or Columbus Laboratory. Sensors, direct drive motor, battery and electronics are housed in the "Main Box". Chair and human adapters provide the subject restraints. The Microgravity Isolation Frame, to which the Main Box attaches, minimises disturbances to other payloads. MARES uses the Human Research Facility portable computer (HRF PC) for interacting with the subject/operator. MARES is capable of acquiring data, controlling and providing power to external devices (HRF PC, PEMS, EMG amplifiers, etc.), and transfers real time data to the rack mounted Workstation for downlink. It is capable of 1 hour of stand-alone data collection ...  3, record 2, English, - muscle%20atrophy%20research%20and%20exercise%20system
