Back-Trunk Stabilization*
Muscle re-education
Targets stabilization of trunk and back muscles by stimulating abdominal or lumbar muscle groups. Suits patients with insufficiency
in the bank and trunk due to long term pain or neurological disorder. This program can be also combined with active movements.

Circulation, Relaxation of Muscle Spasms, Vascular
Protocol Name Indication For Use
Heavy Legs
Increasing local blood circulation
Relaxation of muscle spasms
Description
For use when swelling of the feet and ankle occurs together with a feeling of the legs being very heavy. Muscle contractions will
compress the deep veins of the legs and eject venous blood upwards. The stimulation will also help to overcome the tension and
tendency to cramp. To be used on calf muscles (Gastrocnemius).

Capillarization
Increasing local blood circulation
Helps to make muscle fibers more resistant to fatigue. Capillarization decreases the amount of lactic acid being produced and creates
a larger area of exchange and distribution of oxygen and metabolites.

Arterial Insufficiency
Increasing local blood circulation
Targets arterial insufficiency of the lower limbs. Low frequency stimulation increases the capacity of the fibers to use the oxygen,
improves the tolerance while avoiding the tetanization and considerable fatigue. Electrodes are placed on the calf muscles
(Gastrocnemius) and popliteal nerve.

Prevention of Venous Thrombosis
Prevention of venous thrombosis
Targets achieving maximum drainage of the veins and combats the stasis. Uses short tetanic contractions separated by long active
pauses to increase the blood flow. Electrodes are placed on the calf muscles (Gastrocnemius) and popliteal nerve.

Increasing local blood circulation
Relaxation of muscle spasms
Targeting cramps at calves. First sequence increases local blood circulation, second sequence provides relaxation to muscle tone.
Each sequence repeats 4 times.
