The indications of the electrodes' positioning are available in the Positions
manual.
IMPORTANT: for all of these programs, stimulation intensity must be
set between the threshold of impulse perception and the moment in
which the impulse starts to cause discomfort. With the exception of
the TENS14 program, the muscles surrounding the area to be treated
must not contract, they should only produce slight "vibrations".
N.B. read the specific instructions on TENS14.

REHA programs

Ionophoresis
For the ionophoresis programs the stimulation intensity shall be
adjusted to feel a remarkable tingling in the treated area, producing
a slight contraction of the surrounding muscles. If you feel discomfort
(or pain), reduce the intensity and eventually stop the therapy.
The ionophoresis treatment exploits the polarity
(negative or positive) that characterizes a specific
drug, selected on the basis of the therapy to be
conducted. When this drug is applied to the
electrodes and the treatment starts, the issued
current by the electrodes acts in such a way as to
convey the drug's ions from one electrode (also
called polo) to the other, therefore as to cross the
location affected by the disease and then release
the specific active ingredient.
