I-Tech MIO-CARE TENS Notice D'utilisation page 83

Intensity: it is the maximum tolerable value (well in excess of conventional TENS,
and therefore with considerable contraction of the muscles surrounding the area
treated).
TENS4 • Anti-inflammatory (medical program)
Program recommended for inflammatory conditions. To be applied until the
inflammatory state is lessened (10-15 applications, once a day; the daily
treatments can be doubled if required).
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: identified the area to be treated, position the electrodes
as shown in Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted until a tingling feeling is produced in the area treated;
avoid contracting the surrounding muscles.
TENS5 • Neck pain/Headache (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area. The first benefits can
be seen after 10 to 12 treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed with the
treatment until the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 35 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 25 of the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted to a level between the thresholds of perception and
pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in which the muscles
surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this limit the stimulation
does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best to stop before
that point.
WARNING: the device varies stimulation parameters during the
program. The current may be felt different: this is perfectly normal and
is envisaged by the software: raise or lower the intensity according to
your own sensitivity to reach a level of stimulation that is comfortable
for you.
TENS6 • Back/Sciatic pain (medical program)
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the lumbar area or along the sciatic
nerve, or both. The intensity should be adjusted to a level between the
thresholds of perception and pain: the maximum intensity level is the moment in
which the muscles surrounding the treated area begin to contract; over this limit
the stimulation does not become more effective, just more irritating, so it is best
to stop before that point. The first benefits can be seen after 15 to 20 treatments
carried out daily; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
