Locomotion by a target is inhibited by passing a current through the target according to various aspects of the present invention. For instance, a circuit having a processor and a signal generator controlled by the processor to provide the current may perform a method that includes: (a) providing the current for a first duration to interfere with the target's voluntary use of its skeletal muscles as a consequence of contractions of the muscles responsive to the current, the current for the first duration comprising a first series of pulses; and (b) providing the current for a second duration sufficient to cause, in the response to the current, contractions of skeletal muscles of the target or pain in the target, the current for the second duration comprising a second series of pulses. The first series of pulses delivers a first power through the target and the second series of pulses delivers a second power through the target less than the first power.
