• Muscle fatigue:
A tired muscle will only tolerate a lower intensity.
• Age of electrodes:
Self-adhesive electrodes do not last forever. You can use them up for up to 60
stimulation sessions. This depends on the quality of the electrodes but also on the
skin of the user. Old electrodes have a higher resistance and their conductivity levels
decline. It is important to replace electrodes regularly.
• Adaption to the current:
The nerves adapt rapidly to the current. It is normal to feel "less current" after a few minutes
of stimulation with specific parameters. In such a case feel free to increase the intensity in
order to get the best results.
• Frequency and pulse width:
Frequencies and pulse widths differ depending on the programs. There-fore the intensity
can not be set at the same level for all the programs even if the electrodes are placed in
the same position. The higher the frequency is set, the lower you will be able to set the
intensity.
The higher the pulse width is set, the lower you will be able to set the intensity.

Principle of dynamic stimulation

The stimulation is not administered simultaneously on all channels. The current flows from
one electrode to the other just like a wave undulating on the body. This kind of stimulation
is far more comfortable than traditional neuro-muscular stimulation.
Dynamic stimulation can be used with high frequency parameters for better pain control or
with low frequency parameters for optimized muscle stimulation. This treatment method
also has an enhanced effect on lymphatic drainage stimulation.
