SELECTION OF LABEL ELECTRODES LOCATION

Proper placement of electrodes is important for the successful application of electrical stimulation.

When selecting the electrode location, observe the following instructions:

Distance between electrodes:

The greater the distance between the electrodes, the greater the area of the tissue to be

stimulated. This applies to flat and concave areas of the body. However, as the distance between

the electrodes increases, the tissue stimulation force decreases. This means that by choosing a

larger distance between the electrodes, a larger area is stimulated, but with less force. To increase

stimulation, it is necessary to increase the intensity of the pulse. When selecting the distance

between the electrodes, follow the instructions:

• the distance between the electrodes should be not less than 7 cm, if the distance is less than

7 cm, this will lead to too strong stimulation of surface structures.

• recommended distance between electrodes from 7 to 15 cm

• the distance between electrodes greater than 15 cm will lead to very weak stimulation of the

surface with a large area.

Arrangement of electrodes depending on direction of muscle fibers

The efficiency of electrical stimulation in all modes largely depends on the

correct choice of the location of the electrodes on the body. Ideally, the

electrodes should be placed on the motor points of the muscle or nerve.

The motor point of the nerve is the area where the nerve is most

superficially located under the skin and accessible by current. The motor

point of the muscle is the place corresponding to the place where the

motor nerve enters the muscle. The choice of current flow direction must be consistent with

the direction of muscle fibers.

• If superficial muscles are to be reached, the electrodes should be arranged parallel to the

direction of the fibers (A - B/C - D),

• If deep layers of fabrics are to be reached, the electrodes must be arranged across the fiber

direction. The latter can be achieved by a cruciform (transverse) arrangement of electrodes, for

example, A - D/B - C. With electrostimulation of nerves and nerve endings (TENS) the electrodes

of one channel should be installed so that the point at which there is discomfort is located

between the electrodes, or one electrode would be located directly at the point at which there

is discomfort, and the second electrode - at a distance of at least 7 cm from the first. The

electrodes of the remaining channels can be used to simultaneously work out other points at

which there is discomfort or, together with the electrodes of the first channel, used to block the

entire area where there is discomfort (on the opposite side). Here again, a cruciform arrangement

makes sense.

ELECTRODE LAYOUT (EMS/TENS)

To use the EMS function, select the modes "WEIGHT CONTROL," "FITNESS,"

"ACUPUNCTURE, "HAND" "JOINT" "FEET" "SHOULDER" "BACK," "LEG". To

use the TENS function, select the programs "INTENSIVE", "ACUPUNCTURE",

"VIBRO MASSAGE".

Be obligatory to place the electrodes in the correct cruciform!
