immediately after exertion. This program helps drainage and winding down,
improving muscle oxygenation and helping to discharge synthetic substances
produced during exertion.
Session duration: 25 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 20 of the Positions manual,
according to the area to be treated.
Intensity: medium-low, increasing during the last 5/10 minutes.
NEMS14 • Agonist/Antagonist (non-medical program)
The electronic stimulator produces contractions alternated between 2
channels: during the first 4 minutes of warm-up the 2 channels work
simultaneously, during the central work phase (15 minutes) muscle
contractions are alternated between Channel 1 (agonist muscles) and
Channel 2 (antagonist muscles). The program is designed to restore muscle
tone to the quadriceps and its antagonist the leg biceps, or the biceps brachii
and the triceps. The work aims at developing strength. With this program,
muscle relaxation is obtained by simultaneous stimulation from both
channels during the last 5 minutes. In the event of fatigue, suspend the
training for a few days and use the NEMS19 program (Muscle relaxant).
Session duration: 24 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 02 to 05 and 11-12 of the Positions
manual.
Intensity: during contraction has to be adjusted so that the contraction
intensity is the same as a voluntary one, in order to reduce the sense of
discomfort and reach higher intensities. Intensity must be increased gradually
treatment by treatment, without overstraining the muscles.
NEMS15 • Sequential tonic contractions upper limbs and trunks (non-
medical program)
NEMS16 • Sequential tonic contractions lower limbs (non-medical program)
This program increases microcirculation within and around the muscle fibers
treated creating rhythmic contractions, fostering better drainage and toning.
It can also be applied to older people to improve blood and lymphatic
circulation in the lower limbs (e.g. applying CH1 to the right calf, CH2 to the
right thigh). These programs can be carried out using self-adhesive
electrodes.
Session duration: 18 minutes.
Electrodes' positioning: photo from 01 to 23 (21 excluded) of the Positions
manual.
