Getting to know your device
What is a TENS+EMS SuperDuoPlus unit and what can it do?
EMS/TENS units fall into the electrostimulation device category. They
provide three basic functions suitable for combined operation:
1. Electrical stimulation of nerve tracts (TENS)
2. Electrical stimulation of muscle tissue (EMS)
3. A massage effect triggered by electrical signals
The unit also features two independent stimulation channels and four self-
adhesive electrodes. It offers a wide range of functions for increasing gene-
ral well-being, pain relief, maintaining physical fitness, relaxation, muscle
revitalisation and combating tiredness. For these purposes, you can either
choose from pre-set programs or specify your own to suit your individual
needs.
The principle of electrostimulation devices is based on the imitation of im-
pulses in our bodies that are transferred to nerve and muscle fibres using
electrodes via our skin. The electrodes can be applied to many parts of the
body; the electrical impulses are completely harmless and virtually painless.
In certain applications you will merely notice a slight tingling or vibrating
sensation. The electrical impulses that are sent into the tissue influence the
transmission of stimulation into nerves, nerve centres and muscle groups in
the application area.
Electrostimulation usually only has an effect after regular applications. With
regard to muscles, electrostimulation does not replace regular training.
However, it is a sensible, supplementary training element.
TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, relates to the electrical
stimulation of the nerves via the skin. TENS is an effective non-pharmacolo-
gical method of treating different types of pain that have a variety of causes.
It has no side-effects if administered correctly. The method has been clini-
cally tested and approved and can be used for simple self-treatment. The
pain-relieving or pain-suppressing effect is achieved by inhibiting the trans-
ference of pain to nerve fibres (caused mainly by high-frequency impulses)
and by increasing the secretion of endorphins in the body. Their effect on
the central nervous system reduces the sensation of pain. The method is
