Stimulation positions
This position will vary depending on the position of the electrodes, the muscle group
you wish to stimulate, and the program you are using. For the objectives in the Personal
Trainer category, which involve powerful muscular contractions, the muscle should
always be stimulated in an isometric fashion. You must therefore fix the extremities of
your limbs securely. In this way, you provide maximum resistance to the movement
and prevent any shortening of the muscle during the contraction, which could create
cramp pains and serious stiffness after the session. For example, when stimulating the
quadriceps, the user should be in a seated position with the ankles fixed with straps to
prevent extension of the knees.
For programs in the Wellness category, which do not induce powerful muscle
contractions, but only mucle twitches, position yourself as comfortably as possible.
Adjusting stimulation energies
In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibres depends on the stimulation
energy. For programs in the Personal Trainer category, which involve powerful muscular
contractions, you must therefore use maximum stimulation energies (up to 694), always
at the limit that you can endure, in order to recruit the maximum number of fibres.
