Treatment Instructions

The Physio-Stim should be worn for three hours per day. Based upon clinical
data for nonunion, the overall treatment duration ranges between 90 and 180
days based upon specific patient conditions. At the end of the daily treatment
the device will turn itself off. The Physio-Stim may be used at any time of day
that is most convenient and comfortable for the patient. It is lightweight and
adjustable. And because the Physio-Stim is portable, treatment can be received
while the patient is sitting, walking, reclining, sleeping, etc. However, since
each patient is unique, the overall activity level should be based on physician
instructions.
