I-Tech PHYSIO Notice D'utilisation page 133

Electrodes position: place the electrode with the drug on painful area and the
other electrode on the opposite side.
Intensity: must be strong enough to produce a relevant perception, near pain,
till the muscles surrounding the area treated begin to contract.
REHA4 • 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 Contraindications).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: above the painful area as shown in Figure1.
Intensity: set above the threshold of perception.
REHA5 • Hematomas (medical program)
Consult a doctor before using this program to treat haematomas. Few
applications carried out within a few hours of the bruise are recommended. A
combination of various types of square-wave impulses has a graduated
draining effect on the area to be treated, in fact impulses at different
frequencies drain the area at different depths.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception
and pain, without causing muscle contraction; in particular, at a distance of less
than 48 hours from the traumatic event, use moderate intensities.
REHA6 • Oedema (medical program)
Program similar to REHA 5.
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: should be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception
and pain without muscle contractions at least in the first two weeks then
gradually increase.
