Use the P+ and P- buttons to modify the value of the slope and confirm with OK. Continue by increasing the value intensity until the stimulation is reached.

  • Page 31: Action Principles

    ACTION PRINCIPLES Muscular electrostimulation Electrostimulation is a technique which, by means of electric pulses acting on the muscle motor points (motoneurons), causes muscular contractions similar to voluntary contractions. Each side of the human body approximately includes 200 muscles (about 400 muscles overall) most of which are striated or voluntary.

    two types. Studies on the distribution of fibers in the muscle mass have highlighted the close relation between the motoneuron (tonic or phasic) and the functional characteristics of the fibers it innervates and, moreover, they have shown how a specific motor activity (particularly sports) can bring about a functional adaptation of fibers and a change in their metabolic characteristics.

    an ampere). Numerous studies showed that the currents in microamperes increase the APT synthesis. Usually the MENS therapy has two different phases: the first aims to reduce the pain sensation perceived by the patient, while the second promotes the protein and APT synthesis, accelerating the tissue reparative processes.

    selective contraction of denervated fibers and the impulse average value (alternated polarity) – corresponding to zero – avoids all phenomenon of ionization of the dermis. The rectangular impulses are mainly used on totally denervated muscles. The program varies according to the amplitude of the impulse and the duration of the rest.

    Kotz  Kotz currents consist of a sine current of intermediate frequency (2500 Hz), modulated in worksets alternating 10 ms of work and 10 ms of pause, which generates a phase of muscular CONTRACTION and one of recovery. As other intermediate-frequency currents, Kotz currents contribute to the penetration into deeper muscles and may be preferred to lower frequency currents (e.g.
