Electrodes’ positioning and intensity levels
The electrodes have to be positioned to form a square over the painful zone by
using the channel 1 and 2 as shown above in Figure 1 (red or black up or down
are not important for the therapy purposes, follow the indications in the
Positions manual ). The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the
thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment
in which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this
limit the stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it
is best to stop before that point.
