Why is that, anyway? I observed the same thing in my own rehab: the machine stopped doing anything useful long before I was able to e.g. stand on just my injured leg, but the exercises I was doing didn't feel any more intense than the machine in terms of muscle flexion. Do we know what the story is there?
Not sure, but I assume it's just that sending a shock through the muscle is just fundamentally different from contracting it through its full range of motion with your CNS.
