Russian estim and pacemakers

[Guest guest]

Hi group!

I wanted to pose a question to the group about the use of Russian stim/NMES over

the knee in people who have pacemakers. Depending on where you look estim is

either a " relative contraindication " or an " absolute contraindication. " As

someone who is in the research consistently, I can't seem to find any definitive

evidence saying that it's unsafe. Sure, it may be best policy to avoid the

risk, but in someone that can really use it, does anyone have any reason as to

why we can't? Has anyone used it and been OK? Or, is this something that we

just need to get approval from the docs on...

Thanks
