8. Thoroughly cleanse the skin treating area.
NOTE: Thorough and proper cleaning of the
treatment area to remove any topical medication
and cream film as well as loose skin particles from
the treatment area is critical to the skin contact and
reception of the Electrodes during sEMG ad sEMG +
Stim therapy.
Electrode Placement
1. Using DURA-STICK®1.25 in (3 cm) electrodes, place the
Active (red and black lead) electrodes in the center of
the muscle belly and parallel with the muscle fibers.
2. Position the Reference electrode (green lead) in close
proximity to the treatment area.
- Using small electrodes and placing them closer
together will render a more specific reading of
muscle activity during sEMG and sEMG + Stim
therapy
- The Active electrodes may be placed farther
apart to obtain a general reading of a muscle or
muscle group activity during the session
- DJO recommends using only DURA-STICK™
electrodes to obtain the most accurate sEMG
feedback
- Follow the electrode manufacturer instructions
- Trimming or cutting electrodes may interfere
with the reception of sEMG data and may affect
the delivery of electrical stimulation in the sEMG
+ Stim Modality
3. Review the specific Electrode Placement graphic for
positioning of the Reference (green lead) electrode.
NOTE:
The electrodes may be placed for specific,
general and quasi-specific biofeedback muscle or
muscle group activity.
Intra-Vaginal Probe
If using the Intra-Vaginal Probe, plug the active ends of
the sEMG lead wire (red and black) into the Intra-Vaginal
Probe.
NOTE:
The Intra-Vaginal Probe is for single patient use
only. Refer to the instructions provided with the probe for
proper use, care, and disposal.
For sEMG and sEMG + Electrical Stimulation OPERATION,
refer to page 59.
LASER PATIENT PREPARATION
Preparing the Patient’s Skin for Laser Therapy
Before applying Laser therapy to the patient, you must
fi rst prepare the patient’s skin. By properly preparing the
patient’s skin for Laser therapy, you will allow more Laser
energy to reach the targeted areas and reduce the risk of
skin irritation.
To prepare the patient’s skin for Laser therapy, do the
following:
1. Thoroughly wash the skin on which you intend to
place the laser head with mild soap and water or
alcohol wipe.
2. Dry the skin thoroughly.
For Laser OPERATION, refer to page 61.
