energies by keeping them at an effec-

unwanted contractions.
It works by performing a series of short
measurement tests (lasting 2 to 3 sec-
onds) at regular intervals throughout the
entire programme.
A test is automatically launched
whenever the stimulation energies are
increased. The subject must remain
perfectly still during the test to ensure
optimal results.
Depending on the results, the stimulator
may automatically reduce the stimula-
tion energies slightly.
NOTE: It is important to ensure that
patients adopt the most comfortable
position possible during stimulation,
remain still, and do not contract any of
the muscles in the stimulation area.
The
grammes which depend on the triggering
of vigorous muscle twitches to indicate
the optimal stimulation energy range.
It is therefore only available in some of
the programmes that use low stimulation
frequencies (less than 10 Hz).
When the
bled, the stimulator will check whether
you are working in the optimal energy
range. If the level is too low, it will
prompt you to increase the level by
displaying a series of
screen.
Once the stimulator has detected the
ideal energy range, a square bracket
will appear to the right of the bar graph
corresponding to the stimulation chan-
