stimulation (for example 3
÷
10mA) and then with caution increase
until you reach a good activation of the muscles.
IMPORTANT
: it is not necessary get to intensity levels such that
provide discomfort! The equation more pain = more benefit is
completely misleading and counterproductive.
Great and important goals are achieved with perseverance and patience.
E14 • Atrophy prevention (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
Program created to maintain muscle trophism. This treatment focuses on
the toning of muscles, and of slow-twitch fibres in particular. Particularly
indicated for patients recovering from an accident or an operation.
Prevents the reduction of muscle trophism caused by physical inactivity.
The muscle area concerned can be stimulated with daily applications of
low intensity; if you increase the intensity, leave a day of rest between
applications to allow the muscles to recover.
ATTENTION
: the program involves an automatic increase in
intensity between the second and the third phase. Consequently it
will not be necessary to adjust stimulation intensity between
phases but only press the Up arrow key for any one of the 4
channels. The first work/recovery cycle of phase 3 will start at an
intensity of 90% of that set for phase 2; the second work/recovery
cycle will go up to 95% of intensity and finally the third
work/recovery cycle will go up to 100% of the intensity set for
phase 2.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
