I teach in an all boys school and this would definitely stimulate interest in neuron stimulation. Great STEM addition if students were to build device, analyze and measure leg movement stimulation. I recommend with STEM additions, however, even without great interest grabber and question generator.

Interesting approach for conveying the concept of neural input into a muscle to bring about contractile activity.
—Erik Henriksen, University of Arizona
This is a good visual, and will intrigue students of all ages.
