PATIENT STIMULATION
PROGRAMS
PowerDot App is designed to run two
categories of stimulation programs:
PRESCRIBED NMES/TENS
PROGRAMS
NMES/TENS programs prescribed by the
doctor general have stimulation parameters
tuned to specifically address your medical
condition.
Once your prescription programs are
scheduled by the doctor through PowerDot
Doctor App or Doctor Frontend, these
p r o g r a m s w i l l b e c o m e automatically
accessible from the separate tab of
PowerDot App.
Based on scheduling parameters and your
notification settings, PowerDot ¨¨App will
be automatically offering or hiding your
prescription programs, automatically
updating to new parameters or settings
made by your doctor, as well as notifying
you about upcoming or missing sessions.
NON-PRESCRIPTION
NMES PROGRAMS
Performance Programs
Performance Programs are designed to
complement your regular sports & fitness
w o r k o u t s , a n d h e l p y o u i m p r o v e a n d
m a i n t a i n y o u r m u s c l e p e r f o r m a n c e .
It's ideal to run the Performance Programs
3-5 times per week during preparatory
mid-season period, and 1-2 times per week
during competition season or transition
periods. Your daily stimulation session should
usually involve stimulation of 1-3 muscle
groups of your choice (and depending on the
specifics and objectives of your sport) . If you
use only one PowerDot device, you will need
to run separate stimulation session for the left
and the right sides of your muscle groups.
All Performance Programs start with a
recommended 3 minutes Warm Up followed
by a Main Workout phase (depending on a
program, this can take anywhere from 10 to
50 minutes), which is then followed by
recommended 5-minute Recovery phase.
1.
Muscle Endurance Improves muscle
endurance and fatigue resistance.
Perfect for complementing your physical
endurance training workouts. Recom-
mended for slow twitch muscle groups.
For best efficiency, plan your PowerDot
Muscle Endurance sessions BEFORE
your usual endurance workouts.
We recommend using your PowerDot
Muscle Endurance Program 4-5 times a
week per muscle group during prepara-
tion period (pre-season) and 2-3 times a
week
during
(mid-season).

ability to resist intense and prolonged
effort, muscle tone and definition.
