PROGRAM ACTIVE RECOVERY
WHEN?
To facilitate and accelerate muscle recuperation after intense exertion. Use this
programme during the three hours which follow a period of intense training or a
competition.
WHY?
Strong increase in blood flow, accelerated elimination of waste products from muscle
contraction and a relaxing endorphinic eect.
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
Precision in positioning the electrodes is less significant than for programmes aiming
to develop muscle quality. The electrodes can be placed in an alternative way, reducing
the number of electrodes needed and stimulating more muscles during a session.
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.
