SHOULDER PACEMAKER

The most correct procedure would be to start from a low level and then increase to a higher level when switching to a new electrostimulation
cycle. At the end of a cycle you can start either a new cycle with the next higher level, or carry out a session maintenance training with the last
level used.
The maximum stimulation level delivered by the stimulator is 150V. In wireless operation mode, the software checks the selected voltage input
value and it signals an error in the case of a value greater than 150V.
Usage protocol
The training performed with the Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
device involves the execution of a series of exercises that are completed during the
stimulation of the muscle groups to keep the shoulder stable. Each treatment session lasts about 30 minutes and uses a stimulation frequency
of 35 Hz. The protocol uses the device in 3 sessions a week for a period of six weeks. In any case, follow the therapeutic indications indicated
by the competent doctor or therapist.
Stimulation programs
Shoulder Pacemaker
TM
has the following programs:
Manual Operating mode
(M)
Automatic Operating mode
(A)
Training 5 seconds
(P1)
Training 7 seconds
(P2)
Training 9 seconds
(P3)
Training 11 seconds
(P4)
Only for the SPM01K2/SPM01K3/SPM01K4 kits - Wireless mode
(W)
The
Manual Operating
program
(M)
is performed at the beginning of the usage session to let the patient familiarize with the muscle sensation
induced by stimulation. The program allows the user to adjust the intensity of stimulation with a wheel, followed by a phase of discharge and
relaxation.
The
Automatic Operating
program
(A)
implements an algorithm to activate/deactivate stimulation based on the angle of elevation of the arm.
Training
program are the real stimulation sessions in which the patient performs different types of exercises during the tetanic contraction
phase. Each training program includes a sequence of loading phase and discharge phase. The device allows the user to run four possible
training programs that differ in terms of loading phase duration
(P1-P2-P3-P4).
The
Wireless
mode
(W)
allows the user to have a graphical aided control software allowing to set the stimulation training settings. In this
operating mode it is also possible to inhibit stimulation based on the movement of the subject.
Please Note: The exercise session and the choice of the type of training must be agreed with the medical staff. The detailed description of the
operation of each stimulation program is present in the next chapter.
