Development of the latissimus
dorsi to treat and prevent
tendinous shoulder pain
(rotator cuff syndrome)
The shoulder is a complex joint enabling
us to make broad gestures (for example,
raising our arms in the air).
During some of these movements, the
tendons in the shoulder can rub against
or be compressed against bony
fragments of the joint.
When this phenomenon is repeated, or
occurs in certain patients who have an
unfavourable anatomic constitution,
such damage to the tendons causes them
to become inflamed and thicker, resulting
in a considerable increase in their degree
of compression. The pain often then
becomes very severe, preventing all
movement of the shoulder; it can even
set in at night and cause serious sleep
deprivation.
Appropriate medical treatment can only
be put in place by consulting a doctor.
However, electrostimulation of the
latissimus dorsi by means of specific
Compex programmes can reduce the
distress to which tendons are subjected by
increasing their freedom of movement
around the shoulder joint.

Development of the abdominal
belt to prevent pain in the
lumbar region (low back pain)
Low back pain arises most frequently
among subjects who do not have
sufficient musculature in the abdominal
region. These muscles in fact represent a
veritable natural "corset", the role of
which is to protect the low back region
from excessive stress of all kinds. This is
why it is referred to as the abdominal
"belt". After a bout of low back pain,
when the pain has stopped, a common
recommendation is to improve the
efficiency of the abdominal and back
muscles to prevent any recurrence.
The
Disuse atrophy
programme imposes
a large amount of work on the
abdominal muscles, without requiring
the harmful or even dangerous positions
often adopted when voluntary exercises
are carried out incorrectly.
An abdominal belt that has greater
strength and endurance can then
satisfactorily fulfil its role of protecting
the low back region.

Development of the low back
muscles to prevent pain in the
lumbar region (low back pain)
Like the muscles of the abdominal
region, the muscles of the low back
(lumbar muscles) also play a role in
protecting the low back region.
Subjects whose low back muscles are
inadequately effective are particularly
prone to low back pain. Once the pain in
the low back has disappeared, people are
often advised to strengthen the low back
muscles with a view to preventing the
recurrence of painful episodes.
However, carrying out voluntary back
exercises often presents serious
difficulties for people who suffer from
low back pain.
That is why electrostimulation of the
low back muscles using the
Disuse
atrophy
programme is one of the
preferred methods to improve the
efficiency of these muscles.
