It is possible to set the values of tHOLD e tOFF.
From 1 to 30 s in steps of 1 s.
Time values for tUP and tDOWN are fixed (at 1 s) and can not be modified).
It is possible to set the frequency values from 1 to 150 Hz in steps of 1 Hz.
Value of the pulse width set on 300 µs (fixed).
Default values: tHOLD = 2 s; tOFF = 10s; 30 Hz.
Treatment time can be set from 5 to 100 min. in steps of 5 min. (default value: 20 min.)
ELECTROSTIMULATION
Electrostimulation advantages
The electro stimulation does not want to replace physical activity but it must be considered as an
integrating treatment.
According to the aims it will be useful:
-
To the sportsmen/sportswomen, in order to integrate the normal training and to increase
performances
- To who wants to intervene on some imperfections
- To who suffers from some pathologies
- To who has suffered from a trauma or in the rehabilitation.
The electro stimulation is a technique that provokes a muscular contraction completely similar to
the volunteer one, using electrical TENS impulse. There are two different ways of use:
1.
Muscular stimulation (ideal for the development of the force and for aesthetic treatments)
2. The stimulation to nervous ends (ideal for the treatments against the pain).
Types of muscle
The muscle can be subdivided in three different types: streaked or voluntary muscle; cardiac
muscle and smooth or involuntary muscle.
The voluntary muscle includes the skeletal muscle that gives movement to the skeleton and the
cutaneous muscle that acts on facial expressions.
The cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle are not voluntarily controlled. The most part of the
muscles of the human body belongs to the category of streaked or voluntary muscles, with
approximately 200 muscles for every side of the body (approximately 400 in total).
Skeletal muscles are the target of the NMES.
Mechanism of the muscular contraction
The skeletal muscle exercises its functions through the mechanism of the contraction.
When the muscular contraction happens, the movement of the articulations is produced and
consequently the movement of the skeleton, too.
