Position of electrodes: use 2 big size adhesive electrodes ( as an alternative we
suggest sponges and wet electrodes) placed at the two ends of muscle to be
treated.
REHA21 • Interferential (medical program)
The interferential therapy is based on the interference of two sinusoidal
currents at different frequencies applied to the patient; the resultant current,
endogenously generated, is a new kind of current. Its frequencies are
respectively the difference and the sum of the two initial frequencies and their
multiples. There are several advantages to this current: easy transfer through
the skin, no sensation of pain for the patient, an excellent therapeutic effect in
depth, no electrolytic effects.
This type of impulse presents simultaneously a good analgesic action and a
good atrophic action on the surrounding muscles.
This therapy is suggested for periarthritis, knee osteoarthritis, meniscopathy
and cruciate ligament post-surgical treatments.
ATTENTION: Program active on channels 1 and 2.
Session duration: 15 minutes.
Position of the electrodes: like the scheme on
the side.
Intensity: adjusted in order to produce a good
tingling, not painful. Gradually increase the
intensity with each passing day. Since muscle
contractions are performed during the program,
it is suggested to execute the program keeping
the limb stuck, avoiding the extension of the
joint.
REHA22 • TENS with amplitude modulation (medical program)
The impulse width varies continuously, this results in a more comfortable
stimulation to the one with constant width impulse. Program indicated for pain
treatment and massage effect on the surrounding muscles.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of the electrodes: form a square on the painful area like the above
scheme.
REHA23 • Alternated TENS (medical program)
TENS program with ON/OFF stimulation and pause effect on two channels. This
program is particularly indicated for patients that do not tolerate the tingling
effect of TENS stimulation.
