standards to which this device has been tested (i.e., ETL

PRE-PROGRAMMED AND THREE CUSTOM
REGIMENS
Regimens are the centerpiece of the Chattanooga
Continuum. They are designed for very specific clinical
applications and are intended to simplify the use of the
device by allowing the clinician to educate the patient
on the use of the device with very little eort. The
Chattanooga Continuum device categorizes NMES Pre-set
and Custom programs by Large Muscle and Small Muscle.
An example of Large muscles would be the quadriceps,
hamstrings, gluteus maximus and medius, adductor
magnus, latissimus dorsi and abdominal musculature.
Small muscle examples would be anterior tib, bicep,
deltoid, supraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, and the
intrinsic foot and hand muscles.
