Diagnostic 1-15 Phase 1 Reobase Rheobase calculation Press P+ to increase or P- to decrease intensity. When the first motor response occurs, the corresponding intensity value can be stored by pressing the OK button. This value corresponds to the rheobase, that is the minimum intensity value that allows to obtain excitability with a long duration pulse.

After storing the chronaxy value, you are asked if you want to set the pulse slope value, thus changing the shape of the pulse from rectangular (used by default) to trapezoidal-triangular. Set the number of sessions to be programmed using P + and P-, then press the OK button.

Chronaxy between 10 and 20 milliseconds: a high increase in chronaxy and the presence of spontaneous activity reveals that a certain number of motor units are inhibited while others are functional. The muscle is normally innervated. The treatment consists in stimulating the denervated fibers selectively, possibly eliminating the participation of healthy fibers.

NOTES ON THE USE OF MICROCURRENT PROGRAMS This paragraph refers to the use of microcurrent programs Microcurrent programs differ from standard EMS and TENS programs as follows: - While conventional electrostimulation (e.g. TENS) uses current in the milliampere range, microcurrent electrostimulation uses currents in the microampere range that are not perceptible by humans.
Page 35
The following programs are medical Triangular 1 Triangular 2 Triangular 3 Trapezoidal 1 Trapezoidal 2 Trapezoidal 3 Rectangular 1 Rectangular 2 Rectangular 3 Total 9 Use an electromyograph to determine the level of denervation and the relative program. In absence of this sophisticated tool, the empirical method is used, this means that the treatment starts with a triangular treatment (i.g if the denervation is partial) and if no muscle response occurs, also trapezoidal and rectangular treatments are executed.

For all the programs that cause significant muscle contraction (e.g. strength, hypertrophy, toning and firming programs) it is fundamental to place the electrode on the muscle motor point, which is the most sensitive to stimulation. If the electrode is not positioned exactly on the motor point, the contraction could be small and/or annoying.
Page 41
In practice, sponges soaked in a solution containing the active ingredient are used, bearing in mind that if it has a negative charge, it must be applied to the negative electrode and vice versa. The current will carry the active principle inside the tissues, because the ions of the active principle itself will migrate towards the opposite pole until the product is completely absorbed.

These three programs are indicated for the reinforcement of the pelvic floor, that often cause incontinence. The program must be chosen after a diagnostic of the type of incontinence (urge, stress and mixed). Urological applications entail the use of vaginal or anal probes for the specific intended use, which must be covered by the CE MDD certification, in compliance with the directive 93/42/CEE.
ACTION PRINCIPLES Muscular electrostimulation Electrostimulation is a technique that, by means of electric pulses that act on the muscle motor points (motoneurons), causes a muscular contraction similar to voluntary contraction. The majority of human muscles are striated or voluntary, with approximately 200 muscles on each side of the body.
The distribution of the different fiber types in the muscle The relationship between the two main categories (type I and type II) can vary in a considerable way. There are muscular groups that are typically made up of type I fibers, like the soleus, and muscles which only have type II fibers, like the orbicular muscle;...

TENS currents reduce pain thanks to the following factors: a. Gate control theory b. Endorphin secretion c. Different sedative effects related to frequency Gate theory If the electrical signals that lead to the brain information about pain are stopped, also the For instance, if we hit our head against an object, perception of pain is eliminated.

minutes as for the second phase. MENS are an interesting instrumental therapy that can be used in a lot of pathologies; moreover, the use of MENS combined with other instrumental therapies such as laser and/or TENS can lead to excellent clinic results, which are otherwise unlikely to be reached.

used on totally denervated muscles. The program varies according to the pulse duration and the rest time. Triangular current Triangular currents reach the highest intensity value with a linear ramp up, which, if combined with sufficiently long pulses, determine an efficient contraction response of the denervated fibers (controlled by injured muscles) without stimulating adjacent innervated fibers.
Like all the medium-frequency currents, it can be easily penetrated and sometimes it's more preferable than low-frequency currents (biphasic and faradic rectangular) to stimulate the deeper muscles. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Device - In case of actual or alleged malfunctioning, do not tamper with the device and do not try to repair it by yourself.
Page 55
If using non self-adhesive electrodes it is suggested to clean their surface with proper cleansers that respect the requirements described in the manual. Use the electrodes with clean hands. The electrodes in their bag should be stored in an environment that respects the requirements described in the manual.
NOTE: Before returning the device for repairs, we recommend reading carefully the user instructions in the manual and visiting the Globus website. If you have to return the product for repair, please contact your dealer or the Globus customer service.
