It favors the muscle tone recovery
of thighs and legs, according to
specific parameters that, even not
overcharging the muscle
structure, stimulate it physically
to recover the usual pre-trauma
trophism.
Indicated during the
reeducation after a knee
ligament reconstruction. The
program must be carried out
under the physiotherapist’s
control. We suggest using it 4-
5 times per week for at least
six weeks.
1 PHASE: 15’
Recommended Intensity:
try to work at the maximum
tolerated intensity.
Electrode placement: 1,2,4
The effects of this stimulation,
called also FES (Functional
electrical stimulation), are
intended to improve the voluntary
movement by strengthening the
muscles, increasing the motor
control and the ability to move
the limbs in subjects suffering
from hemiplegia and decreasing
pain.
The electrodes can be placed
on the muscles you want to
stimulate, in this case the
subject should intentionally
follow through the movement.
Otherwise, the muscles
involved should be voluntary
contracted, when possible.
The electrodes can be placed
on deltoid, supraspinatus and
forearm muscles.
Our 30' program is indicated
for those who recently had a
neurological damage (in the
last three months) and we
suggest using it 5 times per
week, for 3 weeks. Moreover,
we suggest repeating the cycle
every 6 months. For the
subjects who show
consolidated hemiparesis, we
suggest repeating a treatment
of 10 minutes twice per day
for at least 3-6 months.
1 Phase: 30’ for upper limbs
Recommended intensity:
intermediate and in any case
according to the tolerated
intensity.

deltoid 21, 17, 18
scapular fixators 15, 16
