Neuro Muscular Re-Education
UE BIPHASIC PENS
This program is used to re-educate upper extremity agonist - antagonist muscle pairs to enhance reciprocal and
fast movement. It is called biphasic because the agonist fires first followed by the antagonist. Due to reciprocating
action of the muscle groups there is no third phase. Functional task simulation is reciprocal movement such as
typing, boxing, piano playing, swimming, upper extremity positioning speed walking, rowing, etc. Patterned
Electrical Neuromuscular Stimulation (PENS) is a precise reproduction of EMG firing patterns of muscle agonist and
antagonist pairs. PENS should be used prior to Therex to improve recruitment and motor performance. It’s also used to
decrease spasticity and muscle tone.
