TENS 15 • Epicondylitis
(Medical program)
Also known as "tennis elbow", it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning insertion of the elbow
bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling finger and wrist extension (bending
backwards). 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend
that you consult your doctor to identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the
condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity adjusted above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29.
TENS 16 • Epitroclea
(Medical program)
Also known as "golfing elbow", it affects golfers but also those who carry out repetitive tasks or
tasks involving frequent intense strain (for example carrying a particularly heavy suitcase). It
causes pain in the flexor and pronator tendons inserted in the epitroclea. Pain is felt when
bending or straightening the wrist against resistance, or when clenching a hard rubber ball in
the hand. 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms pass. We recommend
that you consult your doctor to identify the precise cause of the pain in order to prevent the
condition from reoccurring.
Program duration 40 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: photo 29 but with all of the electrodes positioned on the inside of the
arm (with a rotation of about 90°).
TENS 17 • Periarthritis
(Medical program)
Scapulo-humeral periarthritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the fibrous tissues
surrounding joints: tendons, serous sacs and connective tissue. These appear altered and can
break into fragments and calcify. If neglected, this condition can become heavily crippling. For
this reason, after carrying out a cycle of 15/20 applications once a day, we recommend that
you consult your doctor for a cycle of specific rehabilitation exercises to reduce the pain.
The Tens17 program consists of various phases including Tens and muscle stimulation aimed
at improving the tone of the muscles surrounding the joint.
Program duration 41 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception with small muscle
contractions at the end of the program (10 minutes before the end).
TENS 18 • Microcurrent
(Medical program)
The use of microcurrent is very similar to conventional Tens, the only difference being the very
fine electric impulse used that is sometimes more suitable for the sensibility of slightly anxious
people or the more delicate parts of the body.
It can generally be applied for everyday pains, bearing in mind that you should always consult
your doctor to identify the cause of the pain.
It is considered a good all-purpose analgesic current, as it does not have any side effects
(except slight skin redness after long applications), and has very few contraindications (those
specified in the paragraph at the beginning).
Program duration: 30 minutes. Intensity set above the threshold of perception.
Position of electrodes: above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
TENS 19 • Stress incontinence
(Medical program)
Program duration 9 minutes, intensity set above the threshold of perception to produce light
internal stimulation.
This program, for which no photographs are provided regarding the position of the electrodes,
requires the use of appropriate internal stimulation probes, supplied separately together with
the relative instructions. Consult your doctor before using this program and during the
treatment period.
