Ensure that the probe is aligned so
that the contact plates are to the
sides and the longer sides of the
positioning end rim are vertical.
6) The Liberty Loop probe has a pointer
attachment which enables you to
visually monitor the successfulness
of your pelvic floor contractions (the
probe can be used without the
pointer).
The
pointer
demonstrates
the
strength and duration of each
contraction, whether caused by
stimulation or performed manually.
For example, weak contractions are
defined by little or no movement in
the pointer.
Assemble the pointer and attach to
the probe as follows:
•
When performed
correctly,
the
pointer will move
downwards.
•
When performed
incorrectly,
the
pointer will move
upwards.
13.4. TRAINING SESSION
1) Press and hold the
ON
button on the
control unit for 3 to 5 seconds to
switch the control unit on.
2) You can select from the five preset
programmes. Details in section 10
will help you identify the best
programme to suit you.
To
change
between
the
programmes, press the programme
selector, which is labelled
P
, in the
centre of the control unit keypad.
3) With
the
required
programme
selected, you can adjust the intensity
of the muscle stimulation until you
reach a comfortable level. Once you
have reached a comfortable level, 5
seconds after you stop pressing the
button, the intermittent work/rest
phase will start. The machine will
take itself to 0 mA for a rest period
and then take itself back up to the
level of intensity you chose, to work
the muscle. This cycle will continue
for the 20 minutes of the programme.
Note:
The strength required
varies widely between users -
some will use the
perfect PFE
at full power
– 99 mA. The
perfect PFE
strength will go up at 1 mA increments.
Initially the sensation through the probe
may be limited but will improve during
treatment. Take care not to use too
much strength and thereby over
stimulate the muscles until normal
sensation is restored. The sensation
may not be even as it may vary
depending on the sensitivity of the
nerves.
The LCD display shows the strength of
intensity used. The aim is to increase
this over a few days. But remember
there is no hurry, so only increase the
strength of the stimulation as and when
you are comfortable and ready to
progress.
