Physiological effects of EStim are derived by depolarizing nerve membranes and creating "action potentials". Electrical currents with enough amplitude and sufficient duration will cause an action potential, and once generated the body responds the same way it does to an action potential that is generated physiologically, with a muscle contraction.
