ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
The correct electrode placement and the correct choice of their size are critical aspects for the
electrostimulation to be effective.
To choose the size of the electrodes and as for their placement it is necessary to refer to the images
at the end of this guide. For any further information visit our website www.globuscorporation.com
where you can find a wide range of images and videos on the electrode placement.
NOTE For all the programs that cause an important muscle contraction (such as, for example,
strength, hyperthrophy, toning and firming programs...) it is important to place the electrode on the
muscle motor point, that is the point most sensitive to stimulation.
If the electrode is not placed exactly on the motor point, the contraction could be small and/or
annoying. In this case it is necessary for the positive electrode to be moved a few millimeters up to
feel an effective and comfortable contraction.
The body position during the stimulation
The body position during the electrostimulation session depends on the body part involved and on
the program type that is being carried out.
During the treatment execution with high intensities, we suggest blocking the limbs in order to
work in isometry. For instance, if you want to treat the quadriceps with a strength program, we
suggest carrying out the treatment while sitting with the foot blocked, in order to avoid an
involuntary leg extension during the contraction phase.
For all the programs that do not imply high intensity (massages, decontracting, drainage programs)
the body position is not important, as long as it is comfortable.
Electrode placement for Tens and Microcurrent programs
In the following pages you can find the images with the correct electrode placement for tens and
microcurrent treatments. If the localization of your pain is not included in the images represented,
you can position the electrodes by forming a "square" on the painful area. Here's an example.
