    In other words, the muscle cannot distinguish whether the command comes from the brain or from the stimulator� The parameters of the Compex Wireless USA programs (number of impulses per second, contraction time, rest time, total program time) subject the muscles to different types of work, by stimulating different types of muscle fibers�...
  • Page 16: Benefits Of Electrostimulation

    BENEFITS OF ELECTROSTIMULATION Electrostimulation is a very effective way to make your muscles work: • with significant improvement of different muscular qualities • without cardio-vascular or mental fatigue • with limited stress on the joints and tendons. Electrostimulation thus allows a greater quantity of work by the muscles compared with voluntary activity.
