4.1 General guidelines for therapy
The HiToP

1touch guides the user through the application of the therapy. With the
direct help menu all buttons and their functions are explained directly on the screen.
On the right side of the screen therapy programs can be selected directly from this list
of favorites or with the sub-menus “More Therapies” or “Indications”.
Select the desired program or indication. The direct help menu will give you
information about the following steps of the therapy.
The HiToP
®
-therapy is a special treatment and it is very different from the classical
electrotherapy. In the HiToP
®
-therapy, the application technique for the electrodes is
more complicated and, typically, the treatment time is longer than in the classical
electrotherapy. We talk about a holistic treatment. For this reason, the treatment
suggestions in the list of indications are mostly structured in two steps. In the first
step or main treatment, the treatment area is, in most cases, flooded with SimulFAM i
transversally. In the Follow-Up therapy, treatment is often a whole body treatment or
it is the treatment with SimulFAM X longitudinally. With this method, the
therapeutic success which is accomplished by multi-circuit treatment using a multi-
channel device (2 or 4-channel) can be achieved by providing a sequential treatment
with the single channel HiToP
®
1Touch.
Typically, you have to change the electrode placement after the first half of the
treatment in order to start the Follow-Up treatment.
If such a treatment is not possible in the daily practice routine, the treatment can be
switched to a single step treatment. In this case, only the main treatment step is used
for the therapy. This therapy lasts as long as both steps of the Follow-Up therapy.
The time period of the treatment for the indications can be selected in the settings.
