Hello. Yes there are muscle stimulators. But they can stimulate only the superficial muscles. It would be inaccurate to stimulate deeper muscles with them. But yes, you need the services of a psychotherapist. Owning a machine would be expensive and might not help if the user does not know about the human anatomy. Kindly seek help of a physiotherapist. Hope this helps.
Next Steps
Continue passive exercises at home.
Encourage the patient to move actively if they can on their own. It would be helpful.

Hello dear
Muscle stimulation is to be done by a trained physiotherapist only.. Better to get it done there. Getting the machine from somewhere and doing at home isn't recommended.
