PROGRAM LIST REHAB
NOTE: The indications for use of Rehab programs have been taken from the scientific literature of
electrotherapy in rehabilitation field. For personalized indications and protocols, please follow the
advice of your physician or physiotherapist.
Vastus medialis and quadriceps reinforcement
Program effects
Indications for use
Time and intensity
It strengthens in a specific way
the quadriceps muscle with
special attention to the vastus
medialis. In case of
femoropatellar pathologies, a
good reinforcement of the thigh
muscles, and especially the vastus
medialis reinforcement, allows
the knee articulation to work
better, thanks to a more correct
biomechanical patellar position
(aligned).
Indicated for femoropatellar
pathologies that often appear
in sports such as jump sports,
cycling and running. We
suggest carrying out the
treatment after the warm-up
program (in the “Sport” area).
It should be used 3 times per
week for at least 6 weeks.
1 PHASE: 30'
Recommended intensity:
maximum
Electrode placement: 1
In order to emphasize the
work on the vastus medialis
place only the two pads in the
medial position.
Swollen ankles
Program effects
Indications for use
Time and intensity
This program has been studied
for those who have swelling
problems to feet and ankles. It
improves the liquid drainage.
We suggest using the
programs also twice per day,
placing two electrodes on the
gastrocnemius muscle (calf)
and other two in the anterior
tibial muscle.
1 PHASE: 30'
Recommended intensity:
low –intermediate
Electrode placement: 5+8
Quadriceps atrophy (also with prosthesis)
Program effects
Indications for use
Time and intensity
It improves the recovery of
quadriceps strength and it speeds
up the recovery and the return to
normal activities in the patients
who had a knee prosthesis
operation.
Carry out the program while
sitting, with the knees at an
angle of 120 degrees and the
feet leaning on the floor
without extending the legs
during the contraction. We
suggest using it every other
day for the first two weeks,
then for the 6 following weeks
it must be used in 5 sessions
per week
2 PHASES: 5’ + 15’
Recommended intensity:
try to work at the maximum
tolerated intensity.
Electrode placement: 1
