Reha
The Reha program is designed for patients in rehabilitation that need a slow re-introduction to joint
movements. Therefor we stimulate the corresponding muscles with frequencies varying slowly between 0.2
and 0.5 Hz.
With sufficient intensity this will generate physiological contraction yielding a slow and energy saving limb
movement.
The program length is pre-set to 30 minutes but can be changed by the user.
Mobilization
The program Mobilization addresses the patient after the rehabilitation or in an advanced status where the
motions should slowly be increased in speed. The program therefor consists of 14 s slow motion with 0.5 Hz
followed by an increase in speed with a frequency going from 1 to 8 Hz in 21 seconds.
This cycle of 14 s + 21 s = 35 s is then repeated until the end of the treatment time.
The program length is pre-set to 30 minutes but can be changed by the user.
Sport
This is strong muscle training pure. The muscle is being brought to a strong tetanic contraction using

frequencies between 20 and 30 Hz. The intensity should be clearly above the motoric
threshold to ensure a strong contraction.
In order to let the muscle have the necessary relaxation pauses the training follows the cycle 5 s rise time, 5 s
holding time (contraction) and 20 s pause.
A important innovation that
gbo
HighTone Therapy adds to the muscle training is that we can use a sub-
threshold 32 kHz current (i.e. the user does not feel it) during the pauses to alleviate the metabolism and
thereby greatly improve the muscles ability to be supplied with new nutrients and to get rid of waste
products. This allows us to shorten the pause times and to achieve a much more efficient training effect.
The length of the program is pre-set to 15 minutes but can be changed by the user.
Musclepump
Musclepump is a slow muscle movement where the repetitive muscle contractions serve as a “muscle pump”
to squeeze liquids out of the treated area. This is generated using 0.3 Hz constantly.
The program length is pre-set to 30 minutes but can be changed by the user.
Trauma
To treat patients directly after injuries we have combined the edema treatment followed by 100 Hz for pain
treatment (counter irritation) and muscle relaxation.
The program length is pre-set to 30 minutes but can be changed by the user.
