GENERAL NOTES ON ELECTRODE POSITIONING
Correct electrode positioning and size choice are fundamental to assure the
effectiveness of electrostimulation.
To choose the size of the electrodes and their positioning it is necessary to refer to
the images at the end of this manual. Information is also available on our
websitewww.globuscorporation.com.
N.B. For all the programs that cause significant muscle contraction (e.g. strength,
hypertrophy, toning and firming programs) it is fundamental to place the electrode
on the muscle motor point, which is the most sensitive to stimulation.
If the electrode is not positioned exactly on the motor point, the contraction could
be small and/or annoying. In this case it is necessary to shift the positive electrode
of a few millimeters to feel an effective and comfortable muscle contraction.
Body position during stimulation
Body position during elctrostimulation depends on the body part involved and on
the type of program that is being carried out.
During high-intensity treatments, we suggest blocking the limbs in order to work
isometrically. For instance, if you want to treat quadriceps with a strength program,
we suggest to carry out the treatment in a sit position and block the feet, in order to
avoid involuntary leg extension during the contraction.
For all the programs that do not imply high intensity (massages, decontracting,
drainage...) the body position is not important, as long as it is comfortable.
Electrode positioning for Tens programs
In the following pages of this manual you can find the images with the correct
electrode positioning for tens treatments. If the localization of your pain type is not
included among the images, you can place the electrodes by forming a "square"
on the aching area. Here you have an example.
