TENS10 • Haematomas (medical program)
Consult a doctor before using this program to treat haematomas. Few applications
carried out within a few hours of the bruise are recommended. A combination of
various types of square-wave impulses has a graduated draining effect on the area
to be treated, in fact impulses at different frequencies drain the area at different
depths.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain, without
causing muscle contraction.
TENS11 • Atrophy prevention (medical program)
Program created to maintain muscle trophism. This treatment concentrates on
muscle toning, paying particular attention to slow-twitch fibres. For this reason, it
is particularly indicated for patients recovering from an accident or an operation,
since it prevents the reduction of muscle trophism caused by physical inactivity.
The concerned muscle area can be stimulated with daily applications of medium
intensity; if you increase the intensity, leave a day of rest between applications to
allow the muscles to recover.
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 20 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted to produce good muscle contraction in the treated area.
TENS12 • Atrophy – trophism rehabilitation (medical program)
This program acts selectively on slow-twitch fibres. For this reason, it is ideal for
recovering muscle trophism after a long period of inactivity or an accident. This
program is to be carried out when loss of muscle tone has ALREADY occurred.
Application on alternate days.
Session duration: 29 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 20 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: in the first 2/3 weeks low, just enough to produce light muscle
contractions; than progressively increase the intensity over the next two weeks
rd th
(3 and 4 week).
TENS13 • Hand and wrist pain (medical program)
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain: aching caused by
strains, arthritis in the hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. A combination of various
types of square-wave impulses has a general analgesic effect on the area to be
