Intensity: adjusted between the threshold of perception and the pain
threshold.
R24 • Venous insufficiency (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.)
The program is indicated for the treatment of venous insufficiency. It is
possible to use square or rectangular electrodes according to the size of
the calf and the comfort of the patient. Start the program by selecting an
intensity able to produce a good (not painful) muscular contraction.
Session duration: 60 minutes, one phase.
Electrodes' positioning: place the 2 electrodes of channel 1 on the left calf
and the 2 electrodes of channel 2 on the right calf.
Intensity: able to produce a good (not painful) muscular contraction.
R25 • Superficial osteogenesis (medical program)
Cable type: TYPE 1 (see Figure 1 - Cable type.) active channel: CH1 and
CH3
A study of the healing of fractures was carried out in 1968 in Japan and the
United States. This study consists of two main techniques:
1. The implanting of sharp needle electrodes near the bone to be
calcified (invasive technique).
2. The positioning of self-adhesive electrodes on the external surface
near the bone.
We consider the second technique for the treatment of fractures, in
particular when the bone to be stimulated is in a superficial position
(vertebral column, wrist, kneecap, ankle, etc.). This technique is not
suitable if the bone is in a deep position (femur, humerus, radius, etc.). For
the treatment of the vertebral column use 2 rectangular electrodes
measuring 50x90mm. To treat smaller zones (for example the wrist), use
electrodes measuring 48x48mm.
Session duration: 60 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: 2 electrodes of channel 1 must be placed at 10 cm
from each other near the bone to be treated.
Intensity: maximum selectable is 30.
