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
