IONOPHORESIS: the intensity must be increased until the patient experiences
a significant tingling sensation in the treated area, producing a slight
contraction of the muscles surrounding the area.
DENERVATED: the intensity should be adjusted so as to generate visible
isolated muscle contractions. Please not that patients with denervated
muscles experience muscle strain quickly. Therefore, we recommend short
work sessions at high intensity, repeated even several times during the day
(avoid 30-minute work sessions; instead, opt for 5/10 minutes 2/3 times a
day).
NEMS (Neuro Electrical Muscle Stimulation): in the actual work phase, the
programs alternate 5/7 seconds of contraction (when the muscle is visibly
contracted) with 7/20 seconds of recovery (when the muscle is relaxed or
subject slightly stimulated). The intensity during the contraction can be
compared with the workload to which the muscle is subjected. Usually, the
greater the stimulation intensity is, the greater the training load will be. This
is true, however, until the maximum contraction limit of the muscle is
reached; any increase in intensity beyond this level in unnecessary as it does
not improve the training.
Important tip: to reduce the sense of discomfort and reach higher intensities,
we recommend that you produce a voluntary contraction between the
contraction generated by T-ONE. This voluntary contraction shall be carried
out with the limb locked (technically in isometry), in other words, without
moving the limb.
KOTZ: the indications are similar to those given for NEMS programs.
URO: the intensity for the pelvic floor programs must be adjusted based on
the sensitivity of the patient. Increase the intensity gradually, without
producing discomfort or pain. After several sessions, the patient compliance
will increase and you will be able to reach higher intensity levels.
BEAUTY: the indications are similar to those given for NEMS programs.
