Immobilization with Taser Gun: Explanation From Kinesiology. By PhD Maximiliano Torres, Academic Researcher Career of Kinesiology UDLA Sede Viña Del Mar
Taser guns are often described as “paralyzing” weapons, but since kinesiology the phenomenon is more complex: they do not produce neurological paralysis, but a temporary loss of motor control. When the two darts impact the body, the device sends electric pulses that simultaneously stimulate motor nerves and muscles. This causes an intense and sustained contraction of large muscle groups, similar to the sensation of an intense cramp. At that mome…
