6.2 Treatment Options – Muscle Intelligence™ Technology
mi-SCAN (automatic):
Manual selection:
Just before starting a session of neuro-muscular electrostimulation, mi-SCAN analyses the characteristics
of excitability in the muscle subjected to stimulation.
mi-SCAN detects the chronaxy of the muscle in approximately 10 seconds, by detecting when and how
strong a mucle contracts while getting dierent intensitys applied. It allows the stimulator to adjust
the width (duration) of the pulse to the measured chronaxy value. Using a width (duration) of the pulse
corresponding to the chronaxy of the stimulated muscle allows the use of the minimum power to obtain
the same muscle response. As soon as the mi-SCAN function is activated each active channel performs the
chronaxy measurement.
Where recommended, this function is automatically activated, but can be deactivated and the selection of
the body part can be done manually.
6.2.1 Selection of the body area
If the mode for the manual selection of the body area is activated, the user must manually select the area
to be treated. An average chronaxy value is used based on the area selected by the user. This choice is
made after selecting the desired programme.
