If you want more information look up TENS units in an online search. Transcutaneous Electromuscular Neural Stimulation units. They are used as standard therapy tool in physiotherapy. They can provide excellent increments in both strength and size. The catch is, only to the point of previous homeostasis.

e.g. you have leg surgery and lose 6 inches off your thighs
The TENS unit may help you get that 6 inches back faster than if you didnt use it, but no body of evidence in peer reviewed journals shows any results after the homeostatic point. This is because during rehab the body WANTS to put that size back on, it is working WITH you, when you reach this point the body is saited and the hormonal and metabolic assistance finishes, as does the TENS "magic" results.
