PROGRAM CRAMP PREVENTION
WHEN?
For people suering from cramps which may appear spontaneously at rest during the
night or following prolonged muscular eort. These cramps can be partially due to an
imbalance in the flow of blood through the muscles.
WHY?
To improve the circulatory system to prevent the occurrence of cramps.
HOW?
This programme consists of two dierent phases: an 8 Hz sequence to improve blood
flow and develop blood capillaries. A 3 Hz sequence to relax muscular tonus and
increase the well-being of the patient.
PULSE WIDTH
To make it as comfortable as possible for the patient, use pulse widths equivalent to the
chronaxies of the motor nerves of the muscles being stimulated. The mi-SCAN function
can be used to determine the pulse widths suitable for the patient’s muscles.
ELECTRODES
Electrodes positioned depending on the muscle to be stimulated, in accordance with
the instructions.
INTENSITY
An essential factor in the eectiveness of electrotherapy is the ability to cause visible
muscle twitches. The mi-RANGE function can be used to determine the minimum level
of energy required to produce an appropriate muscle response.
