PENS WALK to RUN
This protocol simulates muscle activation in reciprocal patterns (ie. walking, jogging, and running). Strides or
revolutions per minute (RPMs) range from 10 to 120.
Walk Speed: Approximately 40 (Slow) to 88 (Fast) represent various walking speeds.
Jog - Run Speed: At higher RPMs , this protocol simulates running and is used for rehabilitation or sports-specific
training.
Position Progression: sitting, weight shifting in standing, marching in place, ambulating, running in place.
Intensity: Muscle Twitch with active contraction. Adjust amplitude during the treatment in response to the
electrical stimulation, when and as needed.

PENS SPRINT
This protocol simulates sprinting via muscle activation in reciprocal patterns for neuromuscular rehabilitation or
sports-specific training. It stimulates 3 short sprint starts, followed by a series of 10 simulated 100-meter sprints
(approximately), with 30 seconds of rest between sprints.
Intensity: progress from muscle twitch to full intensity simulating sprint practice. Adjust amplitude during the
treatment in response to the electrical stimulation, when and as needed.
Positioning - Early rehab: Have athlete lie on training table with hips and knees flexed, or legs over table.
Positioning – Late rehab: 30 degrees hip-knee flexion. Instruct the athlete to weight shift or run in place in
synchrony with the electrical stimulation.

PENS Skate, PENS Jump PENS Kick, and PENS Throw are sports specific function protocols designed to re-
educate function following injury and during the later phases of a rehab program. They simulate the activities with
the correct EMG firing pattern.
