Electrodes' positioning: photo 27 and 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS7 • Sprains/Bruises (medical program)
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting pain
locally, producing three selectively acting, differentiated impulses. Until pain is
lessened, the treatment is recommended daily (even 2/3 times a day).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS8 • Vascularization (medical program)
Has a vascularizing effect on the treated area. Vascularization increases arterial
flow and consequently aids the removal of allogenic substances and helps to
restore normal physiological conditions. Do not position the electrodes close to
inflamed areas. Daily application is recommended, the number of applications is
not defined; the program can be used to reduce pain.
Session duration: 20 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 25 to 33 in the Positions manual; do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the perception threshold and slight discomfort.
TENS9 • Muscle relaxant (medical program)
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense training
or strain from work; the effect is immediate. Two treatments per day for three or
four days are recommended.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted in order to have a moderate muscle solicitation.
TENS10 • Haematomas (medical program)
Consult a doctor before using this program to treat haematomas. Few
applications carried out within a few hours of the bruise are recommended. A
combination of various types of square-wave impulses has a graduated draining
effect on the area to be treated, in fact impulses at different frequencies drain
the area at different depths.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
