stimulation (P10, P11, P15)

The stimulation is not administered simultaneously on both channels. The  
current flowes from one electrode to the other just like a wave undulating 
on the body. This kind of stimulation is far more comfortable than traditional  
neuro-muscular  stimulation.  Dynamic  stimulation  can  be  used  with  high  
frequency  parameters  for  a  improved  pain  control  or  with  low  frequency  
parameters for optimized muscle stimulation. This treatment method also has 
an enhanced effect on lymphatic drainage stimulation.

The  placement  of  electrodes  for  dynamic  stimulation  depends  on  the  
direction of stimulation (rising/falling stimulation or sideways stimulation)
