CATEGORY REHABILITATION II
PROGRAM BACK/TRUNK STABILISATION
WHEN?
After an episode of low back pain, once the pain has been relieved. Muscular work by
electrostimulation has the advantage of being carried out isometrically with very little
stress on the vertebral structures and discs.
WHY?
To develop the support qualities of the abdominal and lumbar muscles and to restore
awareness of postural control.
HOW?
By simultaneously stimulating the abdominal and lumbar muscle groups, using
parameters adapted to restoring the qualities of type I muscle fibres used in postural
control.
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 abdominal and lumbar muscles. The mi-SCAN
function can be used to determine the pulse widths suitable for the patient’s muscles.
ELECTRODES
Electrodes positioned jointly on the abdominal and lumbar muscles in accordance with
the specific indication.
INTENSITY
The maximum tolerable stimulation energy on the 4 channels, which is one of the key
factors determining the eectiveness of the treatment. The higher the stimulation
energy, the higher the number of muscle fibres (motor units) being used. Progressively
increase the level of energy during the course of a treatment session.
