1. Getting to know your device
1.1 What is Electrical Stimulator and what can it do?
The
Electrical stimulator belongs to the group of electrical stimulation systems. It has three
basic functions, which can be used in combination.
a. Electrical stimulation to nerve tracts (TENS)
b. A massage effect generated by electrical current signals
c. Sports (A new function similar to the ordinary sports of human beings generated by the
EMS)
It has various versatile functions in order to increase general well-being, alleviate pain, maintain
physical fitness,
relaxation and revitalize muscles and combat fatigue. You can either select these
functions from preset programs or determine them yourself according to your requirements.
The operation principle of electrical stimulation equipment is based on simulating the body's
own pulses which are transmitted transcutaneously to nerve or muscle fibers by means of
electrodes. The electrodes can thereby be attached to many parts of the body, whereby the
electrical stimuli are safe and practically painless. You merely feel a gentle prickling or vibrating
in some applications. The electrical pulses transmitted to the tissue affect the transmission of
stimulation in nerve conductions as well as Neuron and muscle tissue in the field of application.
Electrical stimulation does not replace regular exercising of the muscle, but is able to reasonably
supplement the effect thereof.
TENS, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, means electrical stimulation of nerves
through the skin. It is a non-medical method of treating pain from certain causes. TENS uses
tiny electrical impulses sent through the skin to nerves to modify your pain perception. TENS
does not cure any physiological problem; it only helps control the pain. TENS does not work for
everyone; however, in most patients it is effective in reducing or eliminating the pain, allowing for
a return to normal activity.
Sport, to stimulate –under the supervision of a competent health professional – the muscle
's
motor nerves degraded by a process of under – or non-utilisation to restore their functional
muscular capacities;
Massage, to stimulate the muscle motor nerves of healthy persons to improve their muscular
performance, to achieve a relaxing effect or to improve circulation exchanges.
1.2 Important information
Use of the device does not replace medical consultation and treatment. In the event of any type
of pain or illness, you must therefore always first ask your doctor.
