If you have a more or less significant muscle lesion, this programme
could be used as a complement to the usual treatment (cold,
compression, etc). Mobilization of the limb must be allowed.
To facilitate the muscle fibres for a faster return to normal activity.
The programme is designed to ramp-up and stimulate the muscle
gradually in order to prevent stress on the muscle fibres.
Stimulation on the back of the thigh (hamstrings).
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).
