MUSCLE STIMULATOR & MASSAGE PROGRAMMES Programmes P1 - P4 Muscle Training & Muscle Re-Education Programmes Choose from one fo the programmes 1, 2, 3 and 4 Suitable Conditions These programmes can be used for muscle training, prevention of muscle atrophy. Please follow the electrode placement chart for individual muscles shown on pages 16 to 23. -
Page 8: Manual Adjustments
Choose the desired mode by pressing the mode Mode Button There are 3 modes available Constant, Synchronous and Alternate. Constant Constant or normal is stimulation based on setting value. Only pulse width, pulse rate and timer are adjustable in this mode. - Page 9 Frequency Selection With all muscle stimulators, it is important that the frequency, pulse width and 15-25Hz (pulse per second) work rest times are set correctly, to both maximise the results and use the device in a safe and responsible manner. 25-50Hz (pulse per second) The range of frequencies helps to promote muscle endurance and conditioning.
- Page 10 Work Rest (Contraction /Relaxation) Times When setting the work / rest times it is important that the rest time is at least Ramp Time equal to the work time; for example 4 seconds on time 4 seconds off time. For weaker muscles a larger rest time will be required for example 4 seconds on This allows for muscle recovery and reduces muscle fatigue.

Page 17: Electrode Placement
There are many questions as to the optimal position for the adhesive electrodes during an electro-stimulation session. Consequently, we are going to try to answer your various question by setting out below the effective positions for the sport (rectangular) and beauty (round) electrodes for different areas of the body. We are definitely not trying to give an anatomy class here but is is necessary to understand the whole muscle system to get a more precise grasp of the human muscle system. - Page 18 Forearm Biceps ELECTRODE PLACEMENT www.tensmachineuk.com Telephone: 0161 429 7330...
- Page 19 This position is useful for muscle training and for gaining volume using the devices' muscle strengthening programmes. But it is equally very useful for diminishing the effects of lactic acid (substances manufactured by the muscles after sporting exertion and that result in pain during the following few hours).
