"Delay time" refers to the delay seconds that the next pulse needs to start. CE0476 does
not refer to non-medical treatments.
GENERAL NOTES ON ELECTRODE POSITIONING
Correct electrode positioning and size choice are fundamental to assure the
effectiveness of electrostimulation.
To choose the size of the electrodes and their positioning it is necessary to refer to the
images at the end of this manual. Information is also available on our
websitewww.globuscorporation.com.
For all the programs that cause significant muscle contraction (e.g. strength,
hypertrophy, toning and firming programs) it is fundamental to place the electrode on
the muscle motor point, which is the most sensitive to stimulation.
If the electrode is not positioned exactly on the motor point, the contraction could be
small and/or annoying. In this case it is necessary to shift the positive electrode of a few
millimeters to feel an effective and comfortable muscle contraction.
Body position during stimulation
Body position during elctrostimulation depends on the body part involved and on the
type of program that is being carried out.
During the execution of treatments with high intensities, we suggest blocking the limbs
in order to work isometrically. For instance, if you want to treat quadriceps with a
strength program, we suggest to carry out the treatment in a sit position and block the
feet, in order to avoid involuntary leg extension during the contraction.
For all the programs that do not imply high intensity (massages, decontracting,
drainage...) the body position is not important, as long as it is comfortable.
Electrode positioning for Tens and Microcurrent programs
In the following pages of this manual you can find the images with the correct electrode
positioning for tens and microcurrent treatments. If the localization of your pain type is
not included among the images, you can place the electrodes by forming a "square" on
the aching area. Here you have an example.
