A portable electrical neuromuscular stimulating apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a plurality of portable electrical stimulation units, with each unit including at least one pair of electrodes adapted to be placed on the body of the patient. Electrical circuit means are provided that operatively interconnect each of the units so that a pulsed electrical energy signal is supplied to each pair of electrodes as desired, whereby a predetermined amount of therapeutic pulsed electrical energy is delivered to the desired muscle.
