unpleasant tingling sensation during the

is a work mode in which the
patient triggers an electrically induced
stimulation by voluntarily contracting
one of his muscles. The stimulation
contraction is therefore controlled by
the patient.
For a patient to fully benefit from the
training mode, his muscles
must be well developed. Insufficiently
developed muscles may, in some case,
prevent the triggering of the electrically
induced contraction.
Programmes run in
fer a number of distinct benefits:
• They require the active participation
of patients and encourage them to
become fully involved in their treat-
ment.
• They allow patients to control their
contractions, allowing them to feel
more at ease with the system.
• They optimize performance by
combining voluntary and electrical
stimulation exercises, which results
in a more intensive recruitment of
muscle fibres.
• They help to retone the body and fa-
cilitate motor reeducation in patients
with neuromuscular disorders.
• They integrate the stimulation of
stabilising muscles into a broader
functional exercise plan.
The mode is only available

during work sequences (not during
warm-up and relaxation sequences).
The first muscle contraction in the work
sequence is triggered automatically. This
is followed by an active rest phase con-
sisting of a series of muscle twitches.
A new contraction can only be triggered
after a minimum rest time, which varies
from programme to programme. The
stimulator emits a signal to notify the
patient when he can trigger another
contraction.
This signal can take different forms:
• A series of short beeps with increas-
ing frequency: voluntary contraction
possible.
• A continuous beep: ideal moment for
voluntary contraction.
• A series of short beeps with decreas-
ing frequency: voluntary contrac-
tion still possible and work rate still
satisfactory.
• If no voluntary contractions are de-

tected within a certain time (this var-
ies from programme to programme),
the stimulator will automatically
enter Standby mode.

rest phase in order to offer optimal re-
sults. If the twitches are not sufficiently
intense during this phase, the stimulator
will emit a series of beeps and a
sign will appear on the screen. Note that
these muscle twitches will only occur
if the muscles are sufficiently relaxed.
Patients should therefore be encouraged
to adopt a position in which they will be
as relaxed as possible at the end of each
contraction phase.
