Specific work

Hi!
I find these two sentences very confusing. This is from CefarCompex's Practical Guide (it's about using electrical impulses to stimulate muscels for medical purposes):

Specific work on the Medial Vastus is possible while using electrical muscle stimulation. You could also alter the reflex inhibition by stimulating on the entire Quadriceps.

1) Does it mean that certain activity on/by Medial Vastus is possible but only by using muscle stimulation?
2) What is the exact meaning of 'alter' here? Perhaps: You could solve the problem of reflex inhibition by stimulating Quadriceps?
