Incontinence Programs - RehabMedic Pro Stim 2 Manual Del Usuario

some substances called neurotransmitters that pass through the synapse and activate the start
of the next nerve. This process repeats for all the length needed to the signal to reach the brain.
The opioids involved in the pain reduction have the task to insinuate in the synapse space and
impede the neurotransmitter propagation. In this way a chemical block of the pain signals occurs.
The endorphins are opioids naturally produced by the body to tackle the pain and they can act both
on the marrow and on the brain, in this way they are effective analgesics. Tens can increase the
natural production of endorphins and, thereby, they act decreasing the pain perception.

INCONTINENCE PROGRAMS

The urology programs require the use of specific endovaginal and endorectal electrode probes,
certified according to the Directive for Medical Devices 93/42/EEC. These are bipolar probes with
a 2-mm female adapter which attaches to 2-mm male cables.
WARNINGS
Urological electrostimulation is a medical application, which must be carried out under medical
supervision.
USE
To correctly use the probe electrode, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and
given by the physician.
MAINTENANCE
For cleaning, sterilization and disinfection, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
SUGGESTIONS
In case of deterioration of the probe electrode, replace it immediately.
GENERAL NOTES ON ELECTRODE POSITIONING
The correct electrode positioning and the correct choice of their size are critical aspects for the
electrostimulation to be effective.
To choose the size of the electrodes and as for their positioning it is necessary to refer to the
images at the end of this manual.
NOTE For all the programs that cause an important muscle contraction (such as, for example,
strength, hyperthrophy, toning and firming programs ...) it is important to position the electrode
on the muscle motor point that is the most sensitive point to stimulation.
If the electrode is not positioned exactly on the motor point, the contraction coulbe small and/or
annoying. In this case it is necessary for the positive electrode to be moved a few millimeters up
to feel an effective and comfortable contraction.
