page 79 / 96 Issue date 18.05.2021, rev. 1.0
• post-traumatic conditions after joints and muscles injuries
• constipation
• peripheral circulation disorders
9.1.15 EMS
biological impact:
• activation of muscles through unimpaired peripheral nerves to increase contraction force and sensory
consciousness
• obtaining correct movement patterns
• support of the central nervous system in adapting new patterns
therapeutic application:
• prevention of muscle atrophy
• muscle training (increase in strength and endurance)
• muscle reeducation
• maintaining or increasing the range of movement
• increasing local blood flow in the muscle
• muscle relaxation
• preventing thrombosis after surgeries
9.1.16 H-waves
biological impact:
• activation of muscles
• stimulation of blood circulation
• nutrient replenishment
• supporting regeneration
• promoting angiogenesis
• breaking the "vicious circle of pain"
therapeutic application:
• acute / chronic pain of known etiology
• post-surgical pain
• post-traumatic soft tissue inflammation
• muscle spasm
• reduced range of movement
• muscle atrophy
• circulatory disorders
9.1.17 Exponential currents
biological impact: muscle stimulation
therapeutic application: stimulation of denervated muscles
9.1.18 Hufschmidt stimulation and tonolysis
biological impact:
• reflex transduction of the innervation mechanism and temporary physiological muscles rebalancing
therapeutic application:
• stimulation of spastic muscles
• increasing the range of movement and stimulation of any motor control in spastic and antagonistic muscles
