Study 1
Tucker et al
Augmentation of venous, arterial and microvascular blood supply in the leg by isometric neuromuscular stimulation via the peroneal nerve.
The use of OnPulse™ technology for neuromuscular electrostimulation of the muscles in the lower leg significantly increases blood flow and velocity back to the heart.
Study 2
Beaven et al
Electrostimulation’s enhancement of Recovery During a Rugby Preseason.
Electrostimulation produced both psychometric and physiological recovery benefits in professional male rugby players when combined with a lower-body compression garment.
Study 3
Ferguson et al
Effect of neuromuscular electrostimulation via the peroneal nerve on one-legged peak oxygen uptake and peak power output following four weeks of high intensity intermittent training.
The use of firefly™ for NMES immediately after a training session did not have a detrimental effect on muscle adaptation.
Study 4
Ferguson et al
Neuromuscular electrical stimulation via the peroneal nerve is superior to graduated compression socks in reducing perceived muscle soreness following intense intermittent endurance exercise.
The use of firefly™ (NMES) is superior to compression socks in reducing perceived muscle soreness following intense intermittent endurance exercise.
Study 5
Pelech et al
Comparing the effects of acupuncture with neuromuscular stimulation on short term lower limb blood flow; an observational study.
The firefly™ device considerably increased blood flow which could benefit training recovery and injury healing, without significantly increasing metabolic activity in the calf muscle.
Study 6
Taylor et al
The impact of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on recovery after intensive, muscle damaging, maximal speed training in professional team sports players.
The use of firefly™ (NMES) aids the physiological and psychological measures of recovery that can lead to significant increases in performance 24 hours post strenous exercise. firefly™ offers an easily applied recovery strategy which may have particular application during sleep and travel.
Study 7
Ben Dixon
Case Study: The use of Neuromuscular Electrostimulation during Rehabilitation Post Osteoarticular Transfer System Surgery in a Professional Football Player.
This case study shows firefly™ (NMES) could play an important role in injury rehabilitation and an athlete’s return to play protocols.
