Posizione elettrodi: foto 08 del Manuale delle posizioni o come in Figura 1,
attorno l'area da trattare; non posizionare gli elettrodi in prossimità di aree
soggette a stati infiammatori.
Intensità: regolata in modo da produrre una buona sollecitazione della parte
stimolata, la sensazione deve essere simile ad un massaggio.
TENS3 • TENS at maximum values (medical program)
This program blocks pain impulses peripherally creating a proper
anaesthetizing effect in the treated area. This type of stimulation is suitable
for injuries or bruises when rapid action is required. That is the reason why
such stimulation is undoubtedly the least tolerated, but it is extremely
effective. This type of stimulation is not recommended for particularly
sensitive people and in any case the electrodes should not be positioned in
sensitive areas such as the face and genitals or close to wounds.
Session duration: very short, 3 minutes in a single phase.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure1.
Intensity: it is the maximum tolerable value (well in excess of conventional
TENS, and therefore with considerable contraction of the muscles
surrounding the area treated).
TENS4 • Anti-inflammatory (medical program)
Program recommended for inflammatory conditions. To be applied until the
inflammatory state is lessened (10-15 applications, once a day; the daily
treatments can be doubled if required).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: identified the area to be treated, position the
electrodes as shown in Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted until a tingling feeling is produced in the area
treated; avoid contracting the surrounding muscles.
TENS5 • Neck pain/Headache (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area. The first benefits
can be seen after 10 to 12 treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed
with the treatment until the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 35 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 25 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and
pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles
