GENERAL NOTES ON ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The correct electrode positioning and the correct choice of their size are critical
aspects for the electrostimulation to be effective.
To choose the size of the electrodes and as for their positioning it is necessary to
refer to the images at the end of this manual. Those informations are also available
on our website
www.globuscorporation.com
.
NOTE
For all the programs that cause an important muscle contraction (such as, for
example, strength, hyperthrophy, toning and firming programs...) it is important to
place the electrode on the muscle
motor point
, that is the most sensitive point to
stimulation.
If the electrode is not placed exactly on the motor point, the contraction could be
small and/or annoying. In this case it is necessary for the positive electrode to be
moved a few millimeters up to feel an effective and comfortable contraction.
The body position during the stimulation
The body position during the elctrostimulation session depends on the body part
involved and on the program type that is being carried out. During the treatment
execution with high intensities, we suggest blocking the limbs in order to work in
isometry. For instance, if you want to treat the quadriceps with a strength program,
we suggest carrying out the treatment while sitting with the foot blocked, in order to
avoid an involuntary leg extension during the contraction phase.
For all the programs that do not imply high intensity (massages, decontracting,
drainage programs) the body position is not important, as long as it is comfortable.
Electrode placement for Tens and Microcurrent programs
In the following pages of this manual you can find the images with the correct
electrode positioning for tens and microcurrent treatments. If the localization of your
pain is not included in the images represented, you can position the electrodes by
forming a "square" on the painful area. Here's an example.
