 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The instructions for use presented in this chapter should be considered to be general guidelines.
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
For optimal results, use the recommended electrode positions.
A dierent electrode must be connected to each module.
Note: It is possible and normal to have an electrode arrangement that leaves one electrode connection free.
For programmes which induce strong muscle (tetanic) contractions, it is important to place the electrode attached to the pod with the on/
o button on the motor point of the muscle. It is crucial to choose the right size electrodes (large or small) and correctly position these on the
muscle group you want to stimulate to ensure the ecacy of the treatment. Therefore, you should always use the size of electrode shown
in the pictures. Always follow the placement directions shown in the illustrations unless you have other specific medical instructions. Where
necessary, look for the best possible position by slowly moving the positive electrode over the muscle until you find the point that will produce
the best contraction or the greatest comfort.
Note: Approximate placing of the electrodes makes for a less ecacious session, but is still without risk.
Compex disclaims all responsibility for consequences arising from electrodes placed in other positions.
Electrode placement illustrations can be found in the Objective or Programme selector on the website at www.compexwireless.com or right
on the remote control under the icon when you select an Objective or a programme.
BODY POSITIONS
This position will vary depending on the position of the electrodes, the muscle group you wish to stimulate, and the programme you are using.
For programmes inducing powerful muscular contractions (tetanic contractions), the muscle should always be stimulated in an isometric
fashion. You should therefore fix the extremities of your limbs securely. This way, you provide maximum resistance to the movement and
prevent any shortening of the muscle during the contraction, which could result in cramps and stiness after your session. For example, when
stimulating the quadriceps, the user should be in a seated position with resistance around the ankle area to prevent extension of the knees.
For other types of programme which do induce powerful muscle contractions, but rather merely muscle twitches, position yourself as shown
in the illustration, making sure that you are comfortable.
ADJUSTING STIMULATION ENERGIES
In a stimulated muscle, the number of recruited fibres depends on the stimulation energy. For programmes inducing powerful muscle
contractions (tetanic contractions), you must therefore use maximum stimulation energies (up to ), always at the limit of what you can
endure, in order to call up the maximum number of fibres.
For programmes only inducing muscle twitches, you should progressively increase the stimulation energies until you obtain clearly visible
muscle twitches.
PROGRESSION THROUGH THE LEVELS
In general, it is not advisable to go through the dierent levels too quickly with the intention of reaching level  as fast as possible. In fact, the
dierent levels correspond to progress in electrostimulation training. The simplest and most usual procedure is to start with level  and raise
the selected level when moving to a new stimulation cycle. At the end of a cycle, you may either start a new cycle at the next level up or do
some maintenance at the rate of  session a week at the last level used.
