mi-actiON (voluntary):
6.2.3 triggering of contraction
In default set up, all trigger functions are deactivated, but can be activated where available.
This is a way of working in which voluntary active muscle contraction triggers an electrical stimulation.
Contraction by electrostimulation is perfectly controlled by voluntary triggering of muscle contraction.
From the perspective of maximum efficiency, the mi-ACTION working mode requires good muscular
qualities. Underperforming muscles may, in some cases, impede the onset of electrically induced
contraction.
Programmes used in the mi-ACTION mode have undeniable advantages:
• They require active participation and encourage the patient to engage fully in his or her treatment.
• They give the patient the free choice of triggering a contraction, making the practice of
electrostimulation more comfortable.
• They ensure even more effective work as they combine voluntary exercises and electrostimulation that
together allow for greater recruitment of muscle fibres.
• They promote the restoration of the body map and motor relearning in patients with impaired
neuromuscular control.
• They allow the stimulation of stabilising muscles to be integrated during an overall functional movement.
How it works:
The mi-ACTION mode is active during muscle work sequences (it is not operational during sequences of
warm-up and relaxation).
The first muscle contraction of the work sequence starts automatically.
At the end of the first contraction an active rest phase begins, characterised by muscular twitches.
The voluntary triggering of a new contraction is only possible after a minimum rest period, which varies
depending on the programme.
As soon as the voluntary triggering of a contraction is possible, the device emits a beep to inform the user.
Once the user hears the first sound signal composed of a beep, the triggering of voluntary contraction is
possible.
If no voluntary contraction has occurred after a certain period of time, the unit will automatically pause.
To work properly, the mi-ACTION needs a good muscular twitches during the active rest phase.
