This is a small sensor that links the
stimulator to the electrodes. It performs
a key function in that it measures cer-
tain physiological characteristics of the
muscle to be stimulated and transfers
this data to the stimulator, which, in
turn, analyses the data and adapts its
parameters accordingly. This tailoring
of each programme to the changing
condition of the muscle clearly enhances
both patient comfort and therapeutic
efficacy.

bled only when a cable fitted with the
system is connected to the
stimulator. Maximum one sensor can be
used for the THETA 500.
As many as 2 different chronaxy meas-
urements – corresponding to 2 differ-
ent muscle groups – can be taken per
session. The number of measurements
depends on how many sensors are con-
nected to the stimulator.
Each channel that is connected to a
standard cable receives the same data
as a channel connected to a
cable (see below).
Before a programme is executed, the
sensor scans the muscle briefly. During
this time, a horizontal bar will move up
and down the figure to the left on the
screen.
It is essential that the patient remains
completely still and relaxed while these
measurements are being taken. The
system is very sensitive and
the slightest contraction or movement
could interfere with its results.
