WHeN?
In addition to the rehabilitation of rotator cuff tendinopathies, after sedation of acute
pain and manual correction of joint misalignment.
WHy?
To develop the active stability of the shoulder by restoring the functional attributes of
the muscles supporting the glenohumeral joint.
HOW?
Selective stimulation of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles using parameters
adapted to their postural function (type I fibres). Combination with a TENS programme
for a combined analgesic effect.
PulSe WidtH
To make it as comfortable as possible for the patient, use pulse widths equivalent to
the chronaxies of the motor nerves of the infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles. The
mi-SCAN function can be used to determine the pulse widths suitable for the patient’s
muscles.
electrOdeS
Electrodes positioned according to the specific indication.
iNteNSity
The maximum tolerable stimulation energy on the 4 channels, which is one of the key
factors determining the effectiveness of the treatment. The higher the stimulation
energy, the higher the number of muscle fibres (motor units) being used. Progressively
increase the level of energy during the course of a treatment session.
+teNS
OPtiON
Yes.
- A minimum of 1 channel with muscular work imposed by the Disuse atrophy
programme.
- A maximum of 3 channels with the TENS programme.
• Electrodes positioned on the painful area.
• Sufficient stimulation energy to produce a clear tingling sensation.
Once the +TENS combination has been activated, the message “TENS” appears on the
screen with respect to the channel or channels where the treatment is active. The mi
functions – apart from the mi-SCAN – are also no longer accessible.
Take care to properly observe the correct order for switching on the modules, the order
of switching on that corresponds to the numbering of the channels.
