Operating in Resistive Mode
Connect the electrode to be used at the output
RES
and the reference electrode at the
output
REF.
By using the resistive operational mode, a heating effect is generated in deep within the
body making it possible to use this modality to treat bones, tendons, ligaments and
aponeurosis.
Temperature increase must remain contained to avoid any damage of the tissues; an
increase of 2°C is sufficient for the therapeutic effect; the effect of the perception of heat
must never be
bothering
. A gradual increase in temperature is therefore recommended and
must cease as soon as the patient reports an unpleasant heat.
The effect of resistive diathermy is to generate heat in deep areas therefore it is impossible
to measure the temperature achieved; for this reason, we must consider the patient's
response.
The mobile electrode should be maintained still or be moved slowly with a massage.
Important: the entire electrode surface should rest flat on the patient’s skin to avoid a
concentration of current on a small area, which could have harmful effects.

Using of Manual Treatment Kit (TMA Kit – Optional)
The Kit for assisted manual treatment consists of 5 electrodes (it’s recommended to use
gloves during the treatment with KIT TMA):
1)
Spatula: Used at the beginning of each tratment for the hyperemizing action
2)
Scimitar: For transverse and detachment mobilization maneuvers
3)
Dragon: For muscle-joint treatment
4)
Dragon II: For the treatment of large area, including the spine
5)
Dolphin: For myofascial treatments
