R10 • Hand and wrist pain (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain (for example
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome). The intensity shall be adjusted 3 times, one for
each time one of the phases begins. The different frequencies that are
used, 70 Hz in the first phase, 90Hz in second phase and 110Hz in the third
phase, aim to activate the nerve fibers of different diameters, in order to
inhibit the transition of the pain signal at spinal level.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes’ positioning: photos 33 of the Position manual.
Intensity: adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and
pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles
surrounding the area treated begin to contract.
R11 • Plantar stimulation (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
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”.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes’ positioning: 2 electrodes on the sole of the foot (one positive,
the other negative), one close to the toes and the other under the heel.
Intensity: set above the threshold of perception.
R12 • Epicondylitis (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
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).
It is recommended 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the
symptoms pass. First it is recommended that you consult your doctor to
identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition
from reoccurring.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes’ positioning: photo 29 in the Positions manual .
Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold.
