TENS 9 • Muscle relaxant
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense training or strain from work;
the effect is immediate. Adjust the intensity for moderate muscle solicitation. Two treatments per day
for three or four days. Program duration: 30 minutes. Position of electrodes: from photo 1 to 28.
TENS 10 • Hand and wrist pain
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain: aching caused by strains, arthritis in the
hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Total program duration: 40 minutes. A combination of various
types of square-wave impulses has a general analgesic effect on the area to be treated (impulses at
different frequencies stimulate different sized nerve fibres promoting an inhibitory action at spinal
level). The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and pain,
without causing muscle contraction:
Position of electrodes: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 11 • Plantar stimulation
This program has a relaxing and draining effect on the limb stimulated. It is ideal for people suffering
from a sense of “heaviness in the legs”.
Duration: 40 minutes. Intensity: just above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: 2 electrodes (one positive, the other negative) on the sole of the foot, one close
to the toes, the other under the heel.
TENS 12 • Epicondylitis
Also known as “tennis elbow”, it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning insertion of the elbow
bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling finger and wrist extension (bending backwards). 15
applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend that you consult your
doctor to identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity adjusted above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29.
TENS 13 • Epitroclea
Also known as “golfing elbow”, it affects golfers but also those who carry out repetitive tasks or tasks
involving frequent intense strain (for example carrying a particularly heavy suitcase). It causes pain in
the flexor and pronator tendons inserted in the epitroclea. Pain is felt when bending or straightening
the wrist against resistance, or when clenching a hard rubber ball in the hand. 15 applications once a
day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend that you consult your doctor to identify
the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29 but with all of the electrodes positioned on the inside of the arm
(with a rotation of about 90°).
TENS 14 • Periarthritis
Scapulo-humeral periarthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the fibrous tissues surrounding
joints: tendons, serous sacs and connective tissue. These appear altered and can break into fragments
and calcify. If neglected, this condition can become heavily crippling. For this reason, after carrying
out a cycle of 15/20 applications once a day, we recommend that you consult your doctor for a cycle
of specific rehabilitation exercises to reduce the pain.
The Tens17 program consists of various phases including Tens and muscle stimulation aimed at
improving the tone of the muscles surrounding the joint.
