6. During the stimulation session

Setting stimulation energy
hen the programme starts, the
W
Compex prompts you to increase the
stimulation energy, a key factor for
the effectiveness of the stimulation.

6a The Compex "bleeps" and the symbols of the
four channels flash, changing from "+" to "000":
the four channels are at 0 energy. You must in-
crease the stimulation energy so that the stimula-
tion can start. To do this, press the "+" of the keys
of the relevant channels, until the desired setting
is reached.
If you want to increase the energy level of all four
channels simultaneously, press the "i" button, lo-
cated below the "On/Off" key. You can also increase
the energy level of three first channels, by pres-
sing the "i" button twice, or the energy level of two
first channels only, by pressing three times this
button.
Once you activate the "i" button, the associated
channels are highlighted in white on a black back-
ground.

6c The animated rising convection symbol repre-
sented the warming-up sequence.
6d Session progression scale. For details on how it
works, see the following section ("Programme
progression").
6e By pressing the "On/Off" key, you can return to
the previous screen.
Programme progression
timulation does really start when the
S
stimulation energy has been
increased. The screens that are
displayed during stimulation allow
you to observe the progression of the
170 session. These screens may differ from

one programme to another. The
examples reproduced below are
sufficient for you to understand the
general rules.

conds) before the end of the programme.
7b-8b A small animated symbol indicating cate-
gory to which the programme belongs.
7c-8c Session progression scale:
The progression scale is composed of three dis-
tinct parts: the programme consists of three sti-
mulation sequences, i.e., warming up (light
hatching /left), the actual work (black area/centre)
and relaxation at the end of the programme (hea-
vier hatching/right).
The progression scale can be also entirely hat-
ched: the programme then consists of a single
stimulation sequence.
The small cursor located just below the scale
moves horizontally and indicates precisely the
state of progression of the programme (here:
start of the first sequence, i.e., the work se-
quence).
7d-8d Contraction and active rest time bar:
This bar is displayed at the right of the progres-
sion scale, but only during the work sequence. It
indicates the duration of the contraction and ac-
tive rest times.
7d The cursor is located under the black (left)
part of the bar: you are in a muscular contrac-
tion phase.
