Abstract
Apparatus for muscular stimulation of a user includes a pressure sensor, a control unit to which pressure values sensed by the pressure sensor are fed, and a vibrational stimulator for applying vibrational stimulation. The vibrational stimulator is activated by the control unit in response to the pressure sensor sensing an applied pressure which exceeds a threshold-pressure value.
