Knee extensor force production and discomfort during neuromuscular electrical stimulation of quadriceps with and without gluteal muscle co-stimulation.

Simultaneous QG-NMES, as compared to single Q-NMES, does not seem to affect the knee extensor force production or discomfort. Q-NMES, without voluntary muscle contraction, can with an acceptable level of discomfort result in at least 20% of MVC.
