11. REHAB Programs.
R01/R02 • Ionophoresis 1 / Ionophoresis 2.
(Medical program).
Ionophoresis is an electrotherapic technique that uses continuous current to carry drugs into
painful area or contracture area. Ionophoresis means “ions transport”: through continuous
current, active pharmacologic ions are driven through the skin. Electric current favours drugs
penetration into the cells, and at the same time it stimulates the elimination of metabolic slag.
The drug can have negative polarity, positive polarity or double polarity. The current induce the
drug to run from one pole to the other, crossing the painful area and releasing the specific
active ingredient.
WARNING: before starting the therapy, wet the sponge electrodes and wring them so to avoid
dripping, then put the drug on the electrode as follow:
• Active polarity drug : dissolve this drug on the electrode connected to positive pole
(red connector)
• Negative polarity drug : dissolve this drug on the electrode connected to negative
pole (black connector)
• Double polarity drug : can be dissolved on positive pole or negative pole without
distinction.
Position the electrode with the drug on painful area, and the other electrode
horizontally.
Program duration: 20 minutes. Select channel 1 or channel 2 (select both channel only if you
need to stimulate two different areas). Position the electrodes (positive and negative)
horizontally to the treatment area. Channel 3 and channel 4 are disconnected. Set up an
intensity value so to have “pins and needles” on treatment area. At the end of the program, the
skin could lightly turn bright red; the reddening usually vanishing few minutes after the end of
program.
Program 1 works at 1000 Hz, program 2 works at 1500 Hz. Program 2 has a stronger action in
carry drugs trough skin than program 1, but also has a higher probability of skin reddening.
Do
not use ionophoresis program near metallic prosthesis.
R03 • Atrophy prevention
.
(Medical program).
Program created to maintain muscle trophism.
This treatment concentrates on muscle toning, paying particular attention to slow-twitch fibres.
Particularly indicated for patients recovering from an accident or an operation. Prevents the
reduction of muscle trophism caused by physical inactivity. The muscle area concerned can be
stimulated with daily applications of medium
intensity ; if you increase the intensity, leave a
day of rest between applications to allow the muscles to recover. The intensity of this program
