V USAGE GUIDELINES

The usage guidelines presented in this section should be considered as general rules.
For all programmes, it is recommended that you read carefully the usage information
and advice presented in chapter 7.

Placement of electrodes

For optimal results, use the electrode positions recommended. Each stimulation cable
has two poles:
A positive pole (+) = red connection
A negative pole (-) = black connection
A different electrode must be connected to each pole.
Note: It is possible and normal to have an electrode arrangement that leaves one
electrode connection free from a cable.
Depending on the characteristics of the current, efficacy can be optimised in certain
programmes by placing the electrode connected to the positive pole (red connection)
"strategically".
For programmes which force muscles to contract, it is important to place the positive
electrode on the motor point of the muscle. It is crucial to choose the right size of
electrodes (large or small) and correctly position these on the muscle group you want
to stimulate so as to ensure the efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, always use the size
of electrodes shown in the pictures. Unless you have other specific medical instructions,
always follow the placement directions in the pictures. Where necessary, look for the
best possible position by slowly moving the positive electrode over the muscle until
you find the point that will produce the best contraction or the most comfort for you.
Compex disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from electrodes placed in
other positions.
