GENERAL NOTES ON ELECTRODE POSITIONING
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. This information
is also available on our website 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 position the electrode on the muscle motor
point, that is the most sensitive point to stimulation.
If the electrode is not positioned 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 positioning for Tens programs
In the following pages of this manual you can find the images with the
correct electrode positioning for tens 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.
