Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold.
TENS17 • Periarthritis (medical program)
Scapulo-humeral periarthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the fibrous
tissues surrounding joints: tendons, serous sacs and connective tissue. These
appear altered and can break into fragments and calcify. If neglected, this
condition can become heavily crippling. For this reason, after carrying out a cycle
of 15/20 applications once a day, it is recommended that you consult your doctor
for a cycle of specific rehabilitation exercises to reduce the pain.
This program consists of various phases including TENS and muscle stimulation
aimed at improving the tone of the muscles surrounding the joint.
Session duration: 41 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 26 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold with small muscle
contractions at the end of the program (10 minutes before the end).
TENS18 • Microcurrent (medical program)
The use of microcurrent is very similar to conventional TENS, the only difference
being the very fine electric impulse used that is sometimes more suitable for the
sensibility of slightly anxious people or the more delicate parts of the body
involved. It can generally be applied for everyday pains, bearing in mind that you
should always first consult your doctor to identify the cause of the pain.
It could be considered a good all-purpose analgesic current, as it does not have
any side effects (except slight skin redness after long applications) and has very
few contraindications (those specified in the paragraph at the beginning).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold.
TENS19 • Stress incontinence (medical program)
This program, for which no photographs are provided regarding the position of the
electrodes, requires the use of appropriate internal stimulation probes, supplied
separately together with the relative instructions. Consult your doctor before
using this program and during the treatment period.
Session duration: 9 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: see probes user manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold to produce light internal
stimulation.
