Muscular reinforcement is used to strengthen healthy muscles (with
normal volume). Use on previously disuse atrophied muscles that have
regained their volume.
To obtain increased strength and stability.
By using frequencies creating tetanic contractions of the fast twitch
muscle fibres (type II). Often used when rehabilitation is in progress and
normal muscular volume is achieved by previous use of disuse atrophy
programmes. We recommend the use of level 1 for the first two weeks
and level 2 for subsequent weeks.
Strengthen lateral peroneal muscles to prevent sprains. Strengthen
shoulder muscles to prevent shoulder dislocations.
Electrodes positioned as indicated according to the stimulated muscle.
See suggested electrodes placements on the fold out cover.
Maximum tolerable stimulation energy, which is one of the key factors
for the effectiveness of the treatment. The higher the stimulation
energy, the greater the number of muscular fibres (motor units) working.
Try to gradually increase the energy level during a treatment session.
If the patient experiences discomfort and pain during stimulation, the
2+2 function allows this programme (ch 1+2) to be combined with a pain
relief programme (ch 3+4).
