So that type of stimulation can work but I don't think that anything like the abtronic will supply enough of a contraction to work.
Yeah my chriopracter put me on an electric pulse thing for my neck after a car crash I was in that side-lined me for 5 months. I didn't really like it though, it was supposed to be like a massage but it just made me get all tense. I've heard a lot of crappy reviews about the electric ab things, even if they did work there is no range of motion so function strength would be minimal, and without regular ab work, with range of motion, you are setting yourself up for lower back problems. But maybe as a supplement I don't see how it could hurt, I just wouldn't waste my $ on it, would rather buy protein with that $40
