DJO, LLC disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from electrodes placed in other positions�
See the Safety Guide section of this manual to more information on where not to apply electrodes�
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 programs involving powerful muscular contractions, the muscle should
always be stimulated in an isometric fashion� When first becoming familiar with the device and the effects of
the programs� 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 other types of programs (for example, the Training Recovery / Active Recovery program), which do not
involve powerful muscular contractions, position yourself as comfortably as possible�
ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES
In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibers depends on the stimulation energy� With a lower
current intensity, there are fewer working fibers� With a higher current intensity the number of working fibers
is increased�
For programs involving powerful muscular contractions, you must therefore use maximum stimulation energies
(range = 1 to 999), always at the limit that you can endure, in order to recruit the maximum number of fibers�
