Stimulation type
Globus electrostimulators offer different stimulation modes: continuous, intermittent, frequency
modulation, amplitude modulation and BIO-PULSE®.
Continuous stimulation
It consists in a continuous stimulation without times of recovery all the phase long.
This type of stimulation is generally used, in order to execute treatments of warm up and cool-down
at low frequency (with TENS currents) or for antalgic treatments.
Intermittent stimulation
During this type of stimulation there is an alternation between working time and rest time (active
and passive); there can be, for example, 6 seconds of contraction and 10 of recovery, after that the
contraction starts up again for 6 seconds and so on for all the duration of the phase.
During the time of recovery, there is also the possibility to raise the intensity of current in order to
execute a cool-down active recovery during the rest.
Frequency modulation stimulation
In this type of stimulation, during the working phase, the frequency of the stimulus varies between
the predefined values in order to involve the greater number of muscular fibers. They are used for
aesthetic treatments and also for specific programs, such as programs of explosive strength.
