  • Abstract
    This paper examines the effects of low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields on the electrical activity of the muscles measured by electromyogram (EMG). It is observed that these weak electrical fields can have curative effects in neuro muscular diseases. The results demonstrate that there is clear evidence of an interaction between the weak fields and the neurons. This interaction can lead to durable recovery in certain motor neuron functions.
