treated, in fact impulses at different frequencies stimulate different sized nerve
fibres promoting an inhibitory action at spinal level.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: form a square above the area to be treated as shown in
Figure 1.
Intensity: to be adjusted between the threshold of perception and pain, without
causing muscle contraction.
TENS14 • Plantar stimulation (medical program)
This program has a relaxing and draining effect on the stimulated limb. It is ideal
for people suffering from a sense of "heaviness in the legs".
Session duration: 30 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: 2 electrodes on the sole of the foot (one positive, the other
negative), one close to the toes and the other under the heel.
Intensity: just a little bit over the perception threshold.
TENS15 • Epicondylitis (medical program)
Also known as "tennis elbow", it is an insertional tendinopathy concerning
insertion of the elbow bone into the epicondylar muscles, those enabling finger
and wrist extension (bending backwards).
It is recommended 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms
pass. First it is recommended that you consult your doctor to identify the precise
cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 29 in the Positions manual.
Intensity: to be adjusted above the perception threshold.
TENS16 • Epitrochlea (medical program)
Also known as "golfing elbow", it affects golfers but also those who carry out
repetitive tasks or tasks involving frequent intense strain (for example carrying a
particularly heavy suitcase). It causes pain in the flexor and pronator tendons
inserted in the epitrochlea. Pain is felt when bending or straightening the wrist
against resistance, or when clenching a hard rubber ball in the hand.
It is recommended 15 applications once a day (even twice), until the symptoms
pass. First it is recommended that you consult your doctor to identify the precise
cause of the pain in order to prevent the condition from reoccurring.
Session duration: 40 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo 26 in the Positions manual, but with all the
electrodes positioned on the inside of the arm (with a rotation of about 90°).
