FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why, when I increase the current intensity above 1 mA, it returns immediately to 0
mA?
Before starting any program, check that the cables are connected and that the
electrodes are placed on the area to be treated. In addition, be sure that the
electrodes are not worn, because this could inhibit their ability to conduct current.
What kind of electrodes should be used for electrostimulation?
Use self-adhesive electrodes, which are practical and improve the quality of
stimulation. If used with care, they will last for 25-30 applications. The electrodes
should be replaced when they have no longer a good connection with the skin.
Where should the electrodes be placed?
In the back of this manual, there is a comprehensive electrode placement guide
(it is not necessary to respect the polarities indicated). You can follow this
instructions. To verify the correct placement of the electrodes, use the special Find
Motor Point Pen program or follow this empirical method: place the electrodes as
indicated in the pictures in the back of this manual; start the stimulation; with your
hand, move the electrode by sliding it along the muscle without removing it from
the skin. You will notice a change in contraction according to the different
positions. Once you locate the point where the stimulation is greatest, decrease
the channel intensity to zero (0,0 mA), replace the electrode and increase
gradually the intensity.
Do the splitter cables and the split cables allow you to use more electrodes with the
same channel?
This permits, for instance, to stimulate vastus medialis and vastus lateralis of the
quadriceps with one single channel. They are not recommended for medical
applications.
Does the power decrease using Y cables?
The power intensity for each channel does not vary. However, when Y cables are
used to split one single channel in two, the current is distributed on a wider muscle
area, therefore contraction will be less pronounced. Increase the intensity to obtain
the same contraction level.
Can electrostimulation hurt me?
It is very unlikely that electrostimulation damages muscles. In this case it is important
to increase intensity gradually while observing the muscle behavior and avoiding
to keep the limb completely outstretched. In case of doubt, please contact a
specialist.
Is it possible to use the electrostimulator during menstruation cycle?
Electrostimulation may interfere in some way with menstruation, causing
anticipation, delay, accentuation or reduction of the cycle; however, these effects
