  • Page 30: Action Principles

    ACTION PRINCIPLES Muscular electrostimulation Electrostimulation is a technique that, by means of electric pulses that act on the muscle's motor points (motoneuron), causes muscular contraction responses similar to voluntary contractions. Most of human body muscles belong to the striated or voluntary muscle category, with approximately 200 muscles on each side of the body (about 400 in all).
  • Page 31 the close relationship between the motoneuron (tonic or phasic) and the functional characteristics of the fibers it innervates and they have shown as a specific motor activity (particularly sports) can bring about a functional adaptation of fibers and a change in their metabolic characteristics. Motor unit type Contraction type Contraction frequency...
  • Page 32 From 10 mA to 20 mA Moderate Intermediate From 20 mA to 30 mA Above 30 mA Elevated At the maximum level of tolerance, but below the pain Maximum threshold In the descriptions of the treatments, the best levels of intensities are recommended. NOTE: The recommended levels of current are only indicative.

  • Page 33: Tens

    Tens  Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a selective stimulation of the large fibers of the peripheral nerves favoring the closing of the gate entrance for the pain pulses and increasing the release of endorphinic substances, reducing in this way the pain intensity. Therefore, with TENS we want to treat the severe and chronic pain due to the main musculoskeletal pains.

  • Page 34: Microcurrents

    Microcurrents  Compared with conventional electrostimulation, which uses electrical current in the milliampere (mA) range, microcurrent electrostimulation uses currents whose intensity is included between 10 and 500 µA (microamperes,i.e. an ampere millionth). Numerous studies showed that the currents in microamperes are the ones that increase the APT synthesis.

  • Page 42 In aesthetic field, the 3S programs allow to create a real sequential drainage: the sequential contraction of the different muscular groups produces a deep pressure wave in the musculature involved that causes the interstitial fluid drainage and it favors the return of the venous blood to the heart.

  • Page 49: Warranty

    NOTE: Before returning the device for repairs, we recommend to read carefully the user instructions contained in the manual and to visit Globus website. In case you need to return your product for assistance, contact your dealer or contact Globus Service.
  • Page 50 Frequently Asked Questions What kind of electrodes should be used for electrostimulation? Use self-adhesive electrodes, which are practical and improve the quality of stimulation. If used with care, they will last for 25-30 applications. The electrodes should be replaced when they have no longer a good connection with the skin. Where should the electrodes be placed? In the back of this manual, there is a comprehensive electrode placement guide (it is not necessary to respect the polarities indicated).
  • Page 51 How many sessions can I weekly perform? For physical training, consult the technical guide that is available on the Globus website.
