Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain.
TENS8 • Vascularization (medical program)
This program has a vascularizing effect on the treated area. Vascularization
increases arterial flow and consequently aids the removal of allogenic
substances and helps to restore normal physiological conditions. Do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas. Daily application is
recommended, the number of applications is not defined; the program can be
used to reduce pain.
Session duration: 20 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 25 to 33 in the Positions manual; do not
position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the perception threshold and slight
discomfort.
TENS9 • Muscle relaxant (medical program)
Program used to speed up the recovery of muscle function after intense
training or strain from work; the effect is immediate. Two treatments per day
for three or four days are recommended.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 28 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted in order to have a moderate muscle solicitation.
TENS10 • Hand and wrist pain (medical program)
This program is suitable for all types of hand and wrist pain: aching caused by
strains, arthritis in the hand, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. A combination of
various types of square-wave impulses has a general analgesic effect on the
area to be treated, in fact impulses at different frequencies stimulate different
sized nerve fibres promoting an inhibitory action at spinal level.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown
in Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain,
without causing muscle contraction.
TENS11 • Plantar stimulation (medical program)
This program has a relaxing and draining effect on the stimulated limb. It is
ideal for people suffering from a sense of "heaviness in the legs".
Session duration: 40 minutes.
