as shown in illustration 1 produces a vascularizing effect. Vascularization increases arterial
flow and consequently aids the removal of algogenic substances and helps to restore normal
physiological conditions.
Treatment duration 20 minutes in a single phase, daily frequency.
Do not position the electrodes close to inflamed areas.
Intensity adjusted for good solicitation of the part stimulated, the sensation must be similar to
that of a massage.
A03 • TENS sequential
The action is very similar to that of the A01 program. In this program, the impulse frequency
and amplitude are varied during stimulation in order to counter the effect of the user becoming
accustomed to the stimulation (continuous increases of intensity will not be required). Select
the intensity at the start of the program and maintain the same level until the end of the
program. The user's perception of the current may almost become nonexistent during the
program; if this occurs, do not increase the intensity and wait until the program has finished.
The TENS program is working correctly.
Program duration: 20 minutes per phase. Intensity: slightly above the threshold of perception.
Position of the electrodes: form a square over the painful area as shown in illustration 1 or
refer to the positions illustrated from photo 25 to photo 33.
A04 • TENS maximum value
Very short duration, 3 minutes. Blocks pain impulses peripherally creating a proper
anaesthetising effect in the area treated. This type of stimulation is suitable for injuries or
bruises when rapid action is required. The intensity selected is the maximum tolerable value
(well in excess of conventional tens, and therefore with considerable contraction of the
muscles surrounding the area treated). That is the reason why such stimulation is undoubtedly
the least tolerated but is extremely effective. This type of stimulation is not recommended for
particularly sensitive people and in any case the electrodes should not be positioned in
sensitive areas such as the face and genitals or close to wounds.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
A05 • TENS Burst
This stimulation produces a training TENS effect by using the conventional TENS frequency.
Commonly used for pain therapy. The action is similar to that of the endorphinic TENS
program, and the treatment time is 15 minutes for each phase.
Position of electrodes: form a square above the painful area as shown in illustration 1.
A06 • Cervical pain
Specific program for the treatment of pain in the neck area.
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 area treated
begin to contract; over this limit 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 10 to 12
treatments carried out on a daily basis; proceed with the treatment until the symptoms pass.
