The electrical impulses generated by
the Compex are transmitted to the
nerves by self-adhesive electrodes.
The choice of the size, the connection and
the correct positioning of the electrodes are
essential factors for ensuring effective and
comfortable stimulation. So they require
particular care.
To do all this – and for information on the
recommended stimulation positions –
refer to the pictures and pictograms on the
poster, and to the "Table with placements
of electrodes and stimulation positions" in
chapter VI. The specific applications con-
tained in chapter VII also provide useful
relevant information.
Connecting the electrodes
and cables
he electrode cables are connected to
T
the stimulator through sockets on the
base of the device.
our cables can be connected simul-
F
taneously to the four channels of the
device.
or easier use and better identifica-
F
