Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System
Indications
• Stroke rehab by muscle re-education
• Relaxation of muscle spasms
• Prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy
• Increase local blood circulation
• Muscle re-education
• Maintaining or increasing range of motion
Indications for EMG alone:
To determine the activation timing of muscles for:
• Retraining of muscle activation
• Coordinating of muscle activation
Any indication of the force produced by muscle for
control and maintenance of muscle contractions.
• Relaxation muscle training
• Muscle re-education
Indications for incontinence:
Provide biofeedback for the purpose of rehabilitation of
weak pelvic floor muscles for the treatment of urinary
Incontinence.
Contraindications
• The Intelect® Neo Clinical Therapy System should not
be used under the following conditions:
• Do not use for symptomatic local pain relief unless
etiology is established or unless a pain syndrome has
been diagnosed
• Do not use when cancerous lesions are present in the
treatment area
• Do not apply stimulation over swollen, infected,
inflamed areas or skin eruptions (e.g., phlebitis,
thrombophlebitis, varicose veins, etc.)
• Other contraindications are patients suspected of
carrying serious infectious disease and or disease
where it is advisable, for general medical purposes, to
suppress heat or fevers
• Do not place electrode placements to the carotid sinus
region (anterior neck) or transcerebrally (through the
head)
• Safety has not been established for the use of
therapeutic electrical stimulation during pregnancy
• Do not use powered muscle stimulators or TENS
waveforms on patients with cardiac demand
pacemakers
Additional Precautions
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
heart problems
• Use caution for patients with suspected or diagnosed
epilepsy
• Use caution in the presence of the following:
- When there is a tendency to hemorrhage
following acute trauma or fracture
- Following recent surgical procedures when
muscle contraction may disrupt the healing
process
- Over a menstruating or pregnant uterus
- Over areas of the skin that lack normal sensation
• Some patients may experience skin irritation or
hypersensitivity due to the electrical stimulation
or electrical conductive medium. The irritation can
usually be reduced by using an alternative conductive
medium or an alternative electrode placement.
• Electrode placement and stimulation settings
should be based on the guidance of the prescribing
practitioner
• Powered muscle stimulators should be used only with
the lead wires and electrodes recommended for use
by the manufacturer
• With TENS waveforms, isolated cases of skin irritation
may occur at the site of electrode placement following
long term application
• The effective management of pain by TENS waveforms
is highly dependent upon patient selection by a
person qualified in the management of pain patients
Adverse E
ff
ects
• Skin irritation and burns beneath the electrodes
have been reported with the use of powered muscle
stimulators
• Potential adverse effects with TENS are skin irritation
and electrode burns
