14.13.2 Stage III arterial insufficiency
The same benefit can be obtained using low frequency electrostimulation in Stage III arterial insuciency.
In this case, because of the more severe obstruction of the arterial width and the more serious
deterioration of the muscle qualities, stimulation frequencies lower than those used for intermittent
claudication must be used.
To carry out a Stage III arterial insuciency session, we will proceed in the same way as in stage II, but
using a programme adapted to more severe deterioration of the arterial capital.
14.13.2.1 Protocol
Arterial insuciency 2
The protocol is absolutely identical, apart from the patient position.
14.13.2.2 Patient position
The diculty with which the arterial blood is transported to the distal extremities makes it preferable to
position the patient in such a way that gravity aids the arterial circulation.
The patient is therefore placed on a comfortable seat in such a way that does not compress the posterior
arterial trunks.
