A patient-initiated response device and method for re-educating debilitated muscle tissue. The method comprises the detection of an electromyographic signal in a muscle group, which is used to trigger an artificial stimulation signal of a higher pre-determined intensity and transmit such a signal to a debilitated muscle group. The patient-initiated electromyographic signal may be detected in a debilitated or non-debilitated muscle group. The device detects an electromyographic signal of a pre-determined intensity and then generates and transmits an artificial stimulation signal to a muscle group at a frequency and intensity determined by the device operator.
