incompatibility or existing contra-indications regarding its use are involved, should
skin electrodes be used. As an alternative, program “Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation”
or “Sacral Nerve Stimulation S2/3” with its specific electrode placement can be tried.
Treatment should proceed once daily and threshold motoric.
Program 6 Pelvic Floor Hypertension (8 min)
Both skin electrodes (self-adhesive electrodes or silicone electrodes) and also a vaginal
probe (for men an anal probe) can be used whereby the probes are probably the more
effective option. The stimulation should be above the motoric threshold.
As a rule, treatment on a once daily basis is adequate at the beginning but where
discomfort is more serious, stimulation several times a day can be carried out.
Program 7 Constipation (8 min)
Both skin electrodes (self-adhesive electrodes or silicone electrodes) and also an anal
probe can be used. Stimulation should be above the motoric threshold. As a rule,
treatment on a once daily basis is adequate at the beginning but if complaints are
more serious, stimulation several times a day can be carried out.
Program 8 Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (12 min)
Stimulation of the N. tibialis post. can be described as non-segmental stimulation
afferent fibres of the N. pudendus and is a therapy option for an overactive bladder
and also for urge incontinence. And success has also been recorded in respect of fecal
incontinence. An electrode is placed on the medial tibia edge, 4 fingers breadth over
the tip of the inner malleolus (Acupuncture point MP 6), the other electrode beneath
the inner ankle bone in the region of the heel. Correct placement and sufficient
intensity will lead to muscular contractions and foot/toe movement. At the beginning,
treatment once or twice a day is adequate.
Program 9 Sacral Nerve Stimulation S2/3 (12 min)
Sacral stimulation can be applied where an overactive bladder, urge and fecal
incontinence is involved. The electrodes placement is simple and this program is
therefore ideal, similarly as with “Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation”, for children
and patients for whom a probe placement is out of the question. It has to do with
a sensitive stimulation; slight muscular contractions which occur in sequence 1 are
unproblematic. At the beginning, treatment once or twice a day is adequate.
Tissue Nutrition Programs
Electro-stimulation can have a positive effect on the nutrition of the tissue. The three
tissues nutrition programs of the AmpliMove medical differ first and foremost through
the modulation frequency. Electrode placement is local, with wound therapy above
and below the wound in the healthy area.
