It had needles, just like the SFEMG I had before. The only difference was that in the regular SFEMG, I had to sustain a contraction in the muscles, like you say. In the stimulated SFEMG, instead of telling me to sustain a contraction, the doctor used the electrodes to make my muscles twitch all by themselves. Does that make sense? I don't know why he did it like that.
