An apparatus for muscle activation includes least one electrode adapted to deliver a neuromuscular stimulation (NMES) signal to a body portion. A controller provides a NMES signal comprising a sequence of stimulation signals to the electrode. A mechanical motion element coupled to the body portion and a mirror body portion is operatively coupled to the controller. The controller controls the NMES signal in conjunction with the mechanical motion element.
