5. Selecting a program

To choose a program, it is parti-
cularly useful to consult chapter
VII of this manual ("Programs
and specific applications").
R egardless of the motivation you
selected in the previous step, a list
containing a select number of
programs appears on the screen.

6b The warming-up sequence sug-
gested for some programs is active
by default (an animated rising convec-
tion symbol above the heater). If you
prefer to skip this sequence, press
the "+"/"–" key for channel 1.
6c Some programs allow you to
adjust the level of work. To do this,
START
press the "+"/"–" key for channel 2 ,
until the desired level of work is
displayed.
6d Total programme time in minutes.
6e By pressing the "On/Off" key, you
can return to the previous screen.
6f To confirm your selection and
start the program, press the
validation key.
Current international standards
require that a warning be given
concerning the application of
electrodes to the thorax (increased risk
of cardiac fibrillation).

7. During the stimulation session

Starting a program
W hen the program starts, the
Compex prompts you to increase
the stimulation energy, a key
factor for the effectiveness of the
stimulation.

7a The Compex "beeps" and the
symbols of the two channels flash,
changing from "+" to "000". You must
increase the stimulation by pressing
the "+" of the keys of the relevant
channels, until the desired setting is
reached.

seconds.

symbol represented the warming-up
sequence.

7g A small animated symbol indica-
ting the motivation to which the
program belongs.
7h Session progression scale:
The progression scale is composed
of three distinct parts: the program
consists of three stimulation sequences,
i.e., warming up (light hatching /left), the
actual work (black area/centre) and
relaxation at the end of the program
(heavier hatching/right).
The progression scale can be also
entirely hatched: the program then
consists of a single stimulation
sequence.
The small cursor located just below the
scale indicates precisely the state of
progression of the program.
