FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What kind of electrodes should be used for electrostimulation?
Use self-adhesive electrodes, which are practical and improve the quality of stimulation. If used
with care, they will last for 25-30 applications. The electrodes should be replaced when they have
no longer a good connection with the skin.
Where should the electrodes be placed?
In the back of this manual, there is a comprehensive electrode placement guide (it is not neces-
sary to respect the polarities indicated). You can follow this instructions. To verify the correct pla-
cement of the electrodes, use the special Find Motor Point Pen program or follow this empirical
method: place the electrodes as indicated in the pictures in the back of this manual; start the
stimulation; with your hand, move the electrode by sliding it along the muscle without removing
it from the skin. You will notice a change in contraction according to the different positions. Once
you locate the point where the stimulation is greatest, decrease the channel intensity to zero (0,0
mA), replace the electrode and increase gradually the intensity.
Use of Y cables. This permits to use more electrodes on the same channel.
This permits, for instance, to stimulate vastus medialis and vastus lateralis of the quadriceps with
one single channel. They are not recommended for medical applications.
Does the power decrease using Y cables?
The power intensity for each channel does not vary. However, when Y cables are used to split one
single channel in two, the current is distributed on a wider muscle area, therefore contraction will
be less pronounced. Increase the intensity to obtain the same contraction level.
Can electrostimulation hurt me?
It is very unlikely that electrostimulation damages muscles. In this case it is important to increase
intensity gradually while observing the muscle behavior and avoiding to keep the limb completely
outstretched. In case of doubt, please contact a specialist.
Is it possible to use the electrostimulator during menstruation cycle?
Electrostimulation may interfere in some way with menstruation, causing anticipation, delay, ac-
centuation or reduction of the cycle; however, these effects are subjective and highly variable.
