Electronic Muscle Stimulation - A way to know if the cell synapsis of the muscles are still working. In this kind of stimulation, the muscle is given a tiny shock of electricity. If the muscle twitches, it means the muscle is still alright.
Defibrilator - Is the passing of electric pulses in the heart to reset it's pumping action. It is used in patients that has Ventricular Tachycardia, Atrial Fibrilation, faint heart pumping. (refer to web for the procedures in fibrilation)
Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) - Is the diagnostic test that determines the work of the heart. there are 5 components - the QRST or even U. This records the beating of the heart, and from there, we can compare the normal values.
