NEURO REHAB (SLOW START)
When?
NMES is an excellent complement to traditional physiotherapy for
several neurological diagnostics like stroke. The treatment could be used
passively, but preferably used actively in the training situation.
Why?
To aid facilitation and relearning of motor skills
How?
This programme has a slow 4 seconds contraction ramp-up time and a
long rest phase. Experience shows that this design of the programme is
more suitable for patients within this diagnosis group.
Example
Increase function of a subluxated shoulder. Facilitate and increase
function in lower arm - hand.
Electrodes Electrodes positioned as indicated according to the stimulated muscle.
See suggested electrodes placements on the fold out cover.
Intensity
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.
Option 2+2 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).
