Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: Figure 25 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: adjusted between the thresholds of perception and pain: the
maximum intensity level is represented by the moment when the muscles
surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this limit stimulation
does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop
before that point.
WARNING: the program changes the stimulation parameters after
30 minutes of operation. The current may be felt different: this is
perfectly normal and is envisaged by the software: raise or lower
the intensity according to your own sensitivity to reach a level of
stimulation that is comfortable for you.
TENS 6 • Back/Sciatic pain (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the
sciatic nerve, or both. The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the
thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the
moment in which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract;
over this limit the stimulation does not become more effective, just more
irritating, so it is best to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen
after 15 to 20 treatments carried out daily; proceed with the treatment until
the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: Figure 27 and 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS 7 • Sprains/Bruises (medical program)
The program develops its effectiveness after this type of injury by inhibiting
pain locally, producing three selectively acting, differentiated impulses, with
analgesic and draining function. Until pain is lessened, the treatment is
recommended daily (even 2/3 times a day).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the painful area as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS 8 • Vascularisation (medical program)
Has a vascularizing effect on the treated area. Vascularization increases
arterial flow and consequently aids the removal of allogenic substances and
helps to restore normal physiological conditions. Do not position the
electrodes close to inflamed areas. Daily application is recommended, the
